Damp & Foggy Kootenay Pass

<p>Another low-vis day spent in the trees. Skied a coupe laps off Lighting Strike Ridge and visited the cabin for lunch. Ski quality has certainly deteriorated since earlier this week as surface snow becomes damp and heavy. Fun to go for a walk and slide some turn but don't expect stellar snow quality. </p>
