Under the Only Cloud in BC

We decided to ignore all the beautiful sunny weather in the province today and go skiing in the only cloudy, snowy place out there. Exploring in the Dome Creek area we found no traces of the January 12th surface hoar which has been found in the southern and western parts of the Cariboos. We saw one windslab avalanche out of a large alpine north east face, which we suspected had occurred during the wind storm on the 19th as the fracture line was partially blown in. We also came across an impressive glide crack release around 1750m on an east facing slope which had failed on the ground up to 2 meters deep. We suspect that avalanche failed just before the last storm around the 18th, as there was about 25cm of new snow on the ground beneath it now, and in some spots the wind had almost filled in the fracture line. There were many other glide cracks visible on neighboring slopes that are still hanging in - but we felt it was probably a good idea to continue giving those a wide berth. Some decent skiing to be found once we'd dropped a little ways down from the ridgetop into less wind affected snow.
