Comments

We skied Silverfox (east road side of Redflat) in Ningunsaw. We turn back 1/3 of the way up after observing wet conditions for the entire run. Skiing conditions were questionable (turns were rare). Conditions were extremely wet. Precipitations were oscillating between rain and snow throughout the afternoon. The wet snow was surprisingly really stable even on convex and steeper slope (>40degrees). We did not observed any whumps, shooting cracks or wet loose in the Ningunsaw area.
