Fisera Ridge - Coldwater Lab snow surveys

<p>Monthly snow survey conducted by U of S Coldwater Lab. Undesirable touring location, but great for science! Still great context for those traveling in alpine & wind affected terrain, especially in the Kananaskis region. Takeaways: snow pack heights are extremely variable in the alpine, and wind plays a major game here. Think about moving in areas where the snow pack thins and what snow layers are present below you. </p>
