Generalized summary from a couple days in the Cariboo's. The Cariboos closer to the town of valemount are showing signs of spice. There is a surface hoar layer down 20-30cms..that is quite reactive in treeline and alp. Reactive to remote and to human triggering up to sz2-2.5 with good propagation. A bit farther south and we were able to push terrain pretty hard with proper assessment. Windslabs in the alp were rock hard in open terrain with some natural wsl sz1.5 in steep alp. Other than that we saw nothing on our adventure worth noting. We are still trying to avoid being on steep terrain in alp and open treeline as well as avoiding possible terrain traps due to the mid December pwls.
