Spent 4 days on the Wapta, 9-12th. Lots of new snow and L-M winds. The ski quality was good to very good although we kept things mellow due to the white out conditions. Descending Bow canyon had to break trail down as there was 2-30 cm of storm snow, things are primed up.
Avalanche
Observed large sluff from steep terrain as winds ramped up on the 12th.
