Today we sledded up to 1600m on the north end of the Hudson Bay Range. We saw a natural size 2 wind slab avalanche on a cross-loaded feature at 1600m on a west facing slope. Otherwise we found wind affected surface snow in most places, but some good sledding in sheltered meadows. The day was warm and overcast, with some occasional flurries in the afternoon.
