Observation
20 to 30 cm of new snow. 145 cm snow depth at 2200m. Did a compression test on a SE facing 30 degree slope. We got a CTM 10 down 45 cm. We had a great ski in open trees. Some wind transfer but no problematic wind slabs where we were. We avoided the alpine mainly due to visibility.

Deep at Lakit
South Rockies:
Bull,
1 week ago
Observation
Lakit lookout today we found 18 cm of new snow when we arrived and another 6 fell while we were there! There wasn't a breath of wind the entire time which was odd, but great for the skiing. Skiing down, we triggered lots of small, size 1, avalanches within the storm snow.

Awesome at Atlas (views that is)
South Rockies:
Crowsnest North,
1 week ago
Observation
With the mostly clear sky, we were able to see lots of terrain and we didn’t see any natural avalanches, even out of steep alpine terrain. Staged out of Atlas today and headed up the (awesomely groomed … thanks CrowSnow Riders !) Allison Creek trail to check things out.

Howling at Harrison
South Rockies:
Bull,
1 week ago
Observation
90 cm of snow on the ground meant for terrible travel conditions. We punched to ground repeatedly on our sleds and skis. Climbed to 2300 m and dug a pit where we found the November weak layer alive and well! It failed in out tests 50 cm deep so we carefully descended to our snowmobiles.
