Bow summit day. Skied several features. Most treeline and below slopes had been heavily tracked with some minor overnight refill and we saw no signs of instability. Up the stem the choke was very thin and firm after being schralped by several parties yesterday(very marginal for skiing) but the rest skied ok. The petals were also thin with steady moderate wind transport at ridgetop. We turned around at a steep and loaded convex slope facing NE at 2700m due to 1m cracking off the ski on a ~10cm fresh wind slab. Skied well, up to 10cm fist snow on top of a supportive mid pack once you get away from the ridge. Tons of tracks up the fans in the rocky bowl and other smaller alpine features, as well as tracks all over observation and its subpeak well into the alpine above 2850m. Didn’t observe any naturals or skier triggers. Subscribe for future MINfluencing
