The Bow River is frozen! and seems stable. We Skied Pulpit 4 on February 9th. -32 when we parked and maybe a high of -20 on the day. So quite cold, but beautiful and sunny, 0 wind, perfect silence all day. Skinned all the way to the very top of 4, we were the only party all day (kind of expected). Snow was low density power, and pretty deep, although some colder rated wax would've helped the glide(it's a touch slow). some decent sloughing out of steep (45+ degree) trees, but other than that, no instabilities witnessed. If you own the proper clothing to be out right now, the skiing is worth it.
