Skied Vantage Ridge area including some supported steeps. New snow seems to be bonding well except in areas of significant wind transport - and no notable propagation noted there. Ski pen 30cms, down to 5cms on ridgetops. Recent size 2.5 with significant crown depth noted on convexity over Anniversary Glacier off of Joffre, which looks like it had slid after the recent storm cycle. Excellent skiing overall.

Weather

Wind was very mild throughout the day. 'Blowing snow' on the 'light' side of Light.
