Busy up on the Wapta today. Good over night freeze. Temps were well into the positives by the time we returned to the parking lot around 1:00pm. Evidence of many slab avalanches from last 48 hours particularly on steep, rocky, unsupported terrain on all aspects. Some wind loading. Good skiing was found where the snow was cold. Sun effected aspects were starting to develop a crust and becoming heavy lower down. Coverage on the glacier was much better than expected.
