Bald Hills

5 cm of new snow up at the bald hills overlies a supportive crust, which made for fast fun skiing today. The crust became less supportive at lower elevations and made for "hooky" skiing in some places. We dug a snow pit at tree line and found a variety of crusts in the upper snowpack. The mid and lower snowpack was made up of facets and depth hoar. If you take your skis off you will likely sink up to your waist. We stayed out of big terrain features because of how weak the lower snowpack is.

Dreamy snow and sky

Nice day on Boundary Peak, without any wind. Was -15 at 8 AM and warmed up to 0 degrees by 11:30. There's 5-20 cm of fresh snow overtop a very supportive wind/solar crust present at all elevations. No instabilities noted, and we were off the steeper slopes by 11 AM due to the strong solar effect.

Parker Ridge

Incredible skiing with ~10 cm of storm snow on top of a bulletproof crust. Riding was variable in places but we found powder (and no sharks!). Small tests gave us confidence in the day and a quick dig near the top of the ridge to ground (~70 cm cover) didn't yield any deep facets, which was surprising.

Athabasca Glacier

Was attempting to ascend Athabasca Glacier to Mt Kitchener. By 10AM in the morning, the overhead hazard from Snowdome was releasing avalanches that extended across the normal up-path that proceeds under the seracs. See photos. We attempted to find a path through the first and second icefalls that don't proceed directly under the seracs and avalanche paths. We could not find a path that doesn't require taking skis off and likely using boot crampons, on the 4 variations we attempted.

Bald Beach

High solar and no wind on Saturday. Everything above tree line was wet by 11am. Patches of fresh powder were found in the shade below tree line.
