Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Jordy Shepherd led a training day for ski guide candidates in the Emerald lake area on Feb 19th. <br /> Ski conditions are still excellent aside from a few isolated pockets of wind slab found near the top hat col.<br /> Snow was not reactive to skier traffic today but the group did observe a few recent natural windslab avalanches up to size 2 from steep north facing terrain between 1900 and 2300m. Avalanches may have been initiated by cornice failure but limited visibility today made it difficult to determine trigger.<br /> Winds were light from the southwest and height of snow varied from 100-250cm at 2450m. </p> <p>Thanks again to Jordy Shepherd and Backcountry Access for offering this training opportunity!</p>
