Spent 6 days at Ymir Lodge, flying in January 15th started off forecasting 3-3-2 by day 4, we were forecasting 2-2-2 and skiing most slopes. By day 5, we were skiing 47 degree to 57+ degree slopes avoiding thin to thick. Biggest problems were dry loose problems in the 45+ degree terrain. Saturday Jan 21 we had a small windslab problem on east aspects. We shreaded very steep slopes and ski toured out from Ymir to Whitewater and got 1800m of vertical and 20km of skiing in. Sunrise to sunset in January is a perfect day.
