Crowfoot Glades

Great overall conditions - shoots are nicely filled in and the pillow lines are pillowy - lots of great options on the ridge and north glades. The snowstorm that came in today will add significant loading so take it easy in here over the next week and pay attention to tree wells, air pockets in the pillow lines, sluffs in the shoots, and releases off the east face of Crowfoot Mountain until the snowpack consolidates.

Storm snow starting to accumulate on the east face of Crowfoot mountain. This avalanche started up high as a point released and increased size to 1.5 by the time it hit the moraine piles below. It ran for a few minutes, but could not see if it caused the snowpack below to step down and run - unlikely.

Very lightly snowing since the morning and slowly increasing intensity throughout the day.

Some skier triggered sluffing observed in the 5th shoot on the east face of the ridge, from new snow. The East shoot and glades skied really well with knee deep power and good overall stability. No signs of wind effect at any aspect - consistent pow!
