Comments

We did two days up Monashee powder cats doing some sled access skiing. The conditions were surprisingly great. Day one was high ceiling with little solar affect and dry snow. Day two was raining to 1500m but above that was full on winter storms mixed with sun all day. Typical spring POW day. We started one size 1 slab on a lee feature.
