Not every day you can say that about the Crowsnest. Surprisingly fluffy snow and good ski quality just south of the highway. When winds pick up again we would expect some new reactive wind slabs might form in open areas. The November drought layer was not reactive in snowpack tests today but our sample size is small and we are still in assessment mode so enjoyed some turns in smaller, lower-angled terrain.
Weather
Wind may have been pushing moderate at a treeline ridge. There is snow available for transport in this area.
Snowpack
November drought layer found down 80 cm. On this south east aspect it consisted of a 2 cm crust with facets above and below. It was not reactive in our snowpack test. ECTX
