Did a wee lap at Bow Summit and noticed old wind slab underfoot covered by about 5-10cm new snow at BLT/TR. No signs of instability. We avoided steep and wind loaded features staying in the trees.

Weather

We mostly stayed below treeline for the majority of the day doing beacon practice. The wind was consistently moderate/strong SW/W throughout the day at TR/BLT with 1cm/hr snow accumulating and lots of cloud coverage.
