Comments
Went and skiied around crowfoot glades, lots of groups out. Pretty good skiing if you found a fresh line.
Saw 5 natural avalanches come down. 4 above the glades, coming off the bowcrow cliffs. 1 off crowfoot mountain above the ice fall. All looked to be cornice failures. Lots of wind coming off the wapta. The cornices would hit the fan causing the new snow slab to run half way down the fan. None of them stepped down. All slides were around a size 2
