And then there was crust!

What a difference a day makes! The warm temperatures and precipitation have left their mark in the Crowsnest! There is a melt-freeze crust found up to 2100 m. It’s not all bad news…once you get to 1800 m there is 10cm of snow above the crust, by the time we made it to the alpine there was 20cm of soft snow on a consolidated upper and mid-pack. The best skiing was in sheltered terrain where the new snow has not been affected by recent winds.
