At Core Lodge, we measured 90 cm of snow and saw many scoured ridges. In exposed terrain, we found stubborn windslabs that were overtop of facets (sugary crystals) from the cold weather a few weeks ago. We found some decent turns with around 30 cm of soft snow above the same sugary base in sheltered locations.
