Sun.Pow.Fun

Sunny day today north of Sparwood in the Nordstrom area. We didn’t need the ski crampons that we brought thanks to 10 to 15 cm of recent snow that made the travel on south facing slopes better than expected. This new snow started to become moist as we were leaving the field making the ski down a little grabby but still fun.  We had great visibility and didn’t see any new avalanche activity but there was evidence of older cornice-triggered slabs. North facing slopes were still soft and dry. There was almost no wind, and temperatures at 2200 m were -5 with some cloud.
