Skied to Crowfoot Pass and up the SE slopes of Bow Peak. ECTX at the pinned location. Some spindrift coming out of the Bowcrow headwall and the cornices are looking plump in places. Windslabs (one finger to knife resistance) are less reactive than expected; although the snow feels drummy in places, no shooting cracks or results from snowpack tests were noted in the alpine. The skiing at and below treeline is excellent.
