Today was a grey ol’ day in the White Pass, with snow flurries and strong south winds. We found a lot of areas scoured back to an old crust, or firm old tracks, with a few sheltered areas maintaining 5 to 10 cm of soft new snow. We didn’t see any new avalanches but we didn’t see much! If you’re heading out this weekend, be sure to watch out for reactive deposits of wind slab on north and east aspects.
