Observation
Spent a few days skiing short objectives in the Icefields area. Excellent skiing on northerly alpine aspects right now, with up to 30 cm of powder above 2400 m! Below this, ski and boot crampons are helpful managing the semi-supportive melt-freeze crust.

Athabasca Glacier

Observation
Sun was poking out this morning and one could see higher alpine near the Icefields Centre. Signs of old serac fall on Mt Athabasca and recent looking loose wet/dry on east slopes near the north ramp. Watched a party ski down Parker ridge making it look like good turns are still to be had up high.
