Toured up Chief Pascal today under broken skies with intermittent flurries. Generally light and variable winds. A dusting on the road became 30cms (give or take) above treeline. Yesterday's tracks still visible at TL. New snow was on a crust in the BTL. At TL and just above dry new snow was on top of moist grains. We observed some size 1-2 natural debris from unskiable terrain on North facing Chief Pascal. Our ski cuts in 35+ degree North facing terrain at ridge top produced one size 1 storm slab and some size 1 sloughing. New snow was right side up and skiing was great. Couldn't stop skiing long enough to take pictures.
