Comments

Rode great snow on Trudeau near Valemount, 2100-1400M SE-E Aspect. Sluffing observed on very steep (<45) treed slopes, but besides that no other instability observed, Wind crust observed at treeline/alpine. A bit chossy to ski through but no signs of reactivity.

Some natural activity in very steep south facing alpine start zones.

Weather was nice and warm following the cold snap,. No signs of big wind movement observed where we were but, it may not be totally representative of the zone. Day by day, definitely warming up fast. The cold snap is over!
