Snow Conditions
crusty, windAffected

Toured up to St.Nick from bow lake. After reaching the summit we down climbed to just below and skied an NEE aspect down. Skiing conditions were breakable hard pressed wind affect. Pockets of wind slab were coming off with hard hand shears although no major results or propagation on the ski down. On the glacier conditions were hard pressed textured wind affect supportive to skier traffic. We probed depths between 145-300+cm on the glacier. At BTL and TL a widespread temperature crust was present with varying thickness.
