SW of Terrace. -15 around 950m, mostly clear and cold with nil for wind all day. Skied a N aspect at tree line with no results, though there were previous sluffs on the NE/E aspects, likely from the last snowfall and/or strong winds. Skied a S aspect in the sun below tree line, approx 30cm dust on crust, with sluffing. There was no wind effect observed until approaching the ridge top. Skied a WNW aspect with very minor breakable wind crust dropping over the ridge, into hardpack, into pockets of minor wind crust and really nice powder. Noticeable 0.5-1cm facets below and above treeline-glitter snow galore!
