Great day at Bow Summit ski resort with the other 100 people there! Lots of people on the parkway in general. Visible wind loading on lee slopes. Wind was SW and loading the E/NE facing slopes. The regular laps in the gullies were good with high quality snow for November. See snowpack tab for pit info. And yes, Backcountry YYC fans, we filled the pit afterwards. Other misc beta: the parking lot was cleared today along with the pullouts along 93N. Photos of the stem and lower bowl in report for visual.
Weather
Wind was SW and wrapped around the north end and was loading E/NE slopes.
