Comments
We skied Elliot Trees today. At treeline it was -6C with westerly winds gusting mod-strong. Lots of Wind transport. ~20-30cm Ski Pen. About ~1m Height of Snow. Snow felt a bit wind affected and heavy-ish for Bulkley Valley's standards.
In the lower part of the run, below treeline there was lots of unconsolidated snow and we skied over lots of obstacles (stumps, logs, branches, ...etc.)
