<p>Took advantage of continued good stability to ski the recent Kootenay snow. We decided that while this seemed to be a safe choice to ski today tomorrow would likely be a different story.
- 6 at car at 8:30am
5-10cm down on the skin track from yesterday
Snowed 1cm/hour while we were out.
Light winds
Ski pen = 30cm
30-50cm of new snow.
A surprising number of tracks in the area but plenty of terrain to share up high.
No signs of any avalanches anywhere. On steeper rolls sluff management was not a concern for us.
There is a small sun crust approx 10cm under the snow (Friday or Saturday).
0 degrees at the car at 2pm. </p>
