Today in Elkford we found 30 cm of soft snow that has accumulated over the past few snowfalls. This sits on a consolidated layer from the Christmas storm, below this layer the persistent weak layers that developed earlier in the season have gained strength. We were pleasantly surprised that the snowpack is improving. There was some wind throughout the day with a bit of snow moving around. We did avoid a convexity to enter a sheltered treeline slope and had some really good turns.
