Kananaskis Lakes, Hot and Heavy

wardsbd, Wednesday 12th March, 2025 2:00PM
A bit of greenhousing and solar input made the south aspects go wet and heavy. The polar aspects below 2400m were just below zero and started to feel heavy. Observered several natural wet loose avalanches to size 1.5 out steep high alpine SW slopes mostly in the Opal range. Breaking trail below 2200m on NE aspect was very tough as you would sink through the 70cm of storm snow in to facets below. Experienced lots of setlements and whumpfing on this layer. Easy trail breaking on the south aspects.
