Comments
Moderate transport observed on the highest peaks off the Icefields. Steady sw winds at ridge tops beginning to affect the upper snowpack. Building windslabs in the area but very minimal wind effect on Hilda ridge/Destiny as they are pretty sheltered. From the wind and sun! Good riding with no concerning slab development in the storm snow yet! Some change coming with the winds.
