Burning to ski

<p>Today we found some fun ski turns at the Torpy Burn. With the SPAW out for most of interior BC including our North Rockies region we decided before heading out that we would stick to small features with low consequence. On slope we practiced good travel strategies by spacing out on the hike up and using terrain to avoid steeper pitches. The layer of concern was too deep to feel with our skis so we dug a couple test pits to assess it.</p>
