Shallow in South Crowsnest

Today we traveled to a thin snowpack area south of highway 3 in Crowsnest Pass. We found 150 cm of snow at treeline on a north-facing slope. Probing around we found the upper snowpack is well-consolidated over a weak lower snowpack. We didn’t see any new avalanches, It seems like the first bite of sun and warming from last week has tapered off. The skiing was not great, variable and wind affected. The sastrugi was the best skiing! 😩
