Mount Cornfield

A grey day in the Northwest facing bowl just west of Mount Cornfield in the Kokanee Range near Nelson. We skied West, North and Southeast aspects between 2250m and 1800m. Found good protected powder snow on Northwest aspects. Wind effect near ridge top and new wind slabs in immediate lee of South East winds. Minor cracking and whumpfing observed in these areas. Sun crust on steep West aspects at treeline and on most steeper solar aspects. Test profile at 1950m on North aspect showed no results to compression test in top 100cm. Height of snow in this location was 195cm.
