Today we rode up the South Douglas area near Terrace BC. We had planned on skiing but the conditions were very poor with widespread sastrugi and very hard wind scoured surfaces. Since the alpine is wind hammered, we switched our focus to finding good faceted snow in meadows for sledding. Lots of sun and minimal wind.
