Quick report

Comment
No signs of instability. Another 5-10 cm last night with no wind was a nice touch for some awesome April conditions. The new very low density snow is sitting on a now very well frozen crust that you could feel skiing steep terrain on most turns. But there were some pockets of deeper snow to be found. We found some wind slabs on East aspects so skied north faced lines. Sluffing was a concern on steeper narrow sections and one ran for 75-100m. The wind increased a bit throughout the day but was not moving any snow around yet. Get out there while it’s good. Skis on at the top of the first Crowsnest Nordic hill! If you have skied in this area or would like to, please consider writing a letter to West Fraser and the Alberta Forestry office. There is only a few more weeks to provide feedback to them before it is logged this summer and Fall. Please help save this special place that consistently delivers great skiing from November until May! The team at spry has more information if you need before engaging.
