Comments
Skied 3 different blocks between 1450m and 1000m. Seeing signs of all problems prevalent in North Columbia the 2 SW facing blocks seemed to have more signs of instability. The S facing block had better snow quality and better stability.
Had planned on a traveling day into the alpine but with immediate signs of instability chose to scrap that plan due to steeper unsupported trees on access and rode sub 25degree cutblocks.
Sunny almost warm.
Looked like high winds in alpine with the lenticular clouds over Albreda.
