Skiing below 2500m is very bad. Skiing from 2500m to 2900m is good to very good on Lee and polar aspects. Been in the backcountry somewhere in the Purcells between Parsons and Invermere for last 3 days. No signs of large avalanches from Mon / Tuesday warm up. Only one size 2 from extreme terrain. Actually there is zero signs of any large avalanches or debris anywhere we could find. We covered a lot of terrain. All slides are 0.5 to 1.5 on solar aspects from 2200m to 2400m or cornice failures which are causing no results.
We ski'd slopes from 55 to 65 degree today on NE aspects from 2900m+ to 2500m. We high marked slopes to 45 degrees with sleds.
Nowcast: 1-2-1. Temps are affecting solar up to 2600m. Concerns are cornice failure. Wind slab was not reactive today, but reactive yesterday..There is surface hoar. / crust down 15-20cm on solars. Crust around 2000m is 3-5cm thick, thicker on polars. North aspect around top of treeline, the crust is thin to almost faceted out.
