A day that exceeded expectations. About 15cm of new snow on top of a consolidated base. Mostly well bonded. Ski quality was good. Some old avi debris was observed, but very little sluffing, even from the steeper cliffs. A bonus running into the Banff Parks Safety crew (Conrad, Ian, Grant) who set a nice uptrack for us, and kicked in a bootpack up to the col! Thanks!
