Snow Conditions

Spent Friday-Sunday on the Saskatchewan, summiting Castleguard on Saturday under clear skies and no wind. No signs of instability. Sastrugi and hard packed wind affected snow abound. Probed ~5m at 2500m. No signs of recent avalanches - except low in the valley on steep south facing slopes (to size 1). Great uphill conditions, poor to terrible downhill conditions. Great weekend overall.
