Thin snowpack as expected below treeline above Gibson Lake with ~10cm sitting on the atmospheric river crust increasing to ~25cm upper treeline and alpine with variable wind effect.
Sun crust on steep solars in the alpine with moist snow at treeline and BTL with several sz 1 wet loose triggered on decent. Talked to another group that triggered one sz 1 wind slab on a loaded feature.
Skiing was fun up high where you can dodge the wind slab, the scoured aspects, and the direct solar aspects. Below treeline riding was challenging.
All in all a stunning day in the park.
