Bell Couloir

<p>Overall good stability and good riding conditions in the North Couloir. Conditions deteriorated below 2200m, but I would suspect alpine conditions to ride well this weekend on non-solar aspects in wind protected features.</p>

Weather Report

<p>Mostly overcast with brief periods of broken cloud cover by the time we exited the field at 2pm. At the top, ridge-line wind speeds were moderate with stronger gusts out of the SW, plenty of blowing snow up high but limited slab formation by mid day in the couloir. AM TH temps hovered around 1*c and held steady as we gained elevation. Car was reading 10*c when we got back at 2pm, then dropped to 2*c as the frontal passage came through on the drive home. S-1 precip for most of the day with periods of S1, mostly graupel. Luckily no rain by the time we made it back to the car but on the drive home brief period of rain that quickly turned to snow with the FROPA. Minimal solar input today.</p>
