Steep Creek Steep Slough

<p>Rode 3 steep lines: NW facing, W facing, and E facing. Terrain above 40deg was sloughing pretty good. Noticed one crown on W facing slopes above Darkside Lake: 30cm deep, 20m across. Didn't notice any examples of hard slabs, save for a 3cm wind slab near ridge crest. Overall it seems this region has received significantly less wind than the Sea to Sky, and with the cold temperatures pulling all heat from the pack, the snow is magical. </p>
