<p>We spent the day in the Crowsnest Pass. There was evidence of recent wind activity, we found multiple layers from various wind events. As we neared the ridge we tested a small wind lip that provided us some information with shooting cracks that stepped down to a deeper wind slab. There was no natural activity in the area, but we a few test results in the hard range down 25cm on an older wind slab layer with one being a sudden result. We skied a lovely low angle slope where there was no wind effect and had very enjoyable turns. Thanks to the Wolverine who wisely showed us the route to the pass.</p>
