Dark Nature/Fairview Mountain North Face

The slopes on Fairview Mountain above Dark Nature and Lake Louise got cross wind loaded a lot today by spindrift from the south, southwest moderate to strong wind direction. Was at Louise Falls when this at least Size 1 went off over the lake on a similar aspect to Dark Nature at around 4:14pm. Also, some pics of spindrift and sluffs on Dark Nature P1, gear up spot, and approach. Even though it was a moderate forecast in the alpine today in this Avalanche Canada zone, seems things are changing quickly with the wind event today! Even though the forecast is Moderate in the alpine for this zone tomorrow too, just wanted to throw this info up for folks this weekend making the climbing decisions!
