On Wednesday checked out the Canmore
couloir. The chute (as expected is fairly hard but provides consistent skiing
down to the bowl. The bowl however has previously slid and is bumpy
riding. There is as much snow in there as the last time I skied the line
in March/April so I would imagine the skiing will be good later in the season
when the debris is covered.
Yesterday, we checked out Mt. Field. We
skied to tree line and had good fast turns back to the road in mid boot facets
with surface hoar on top. There is some big surface hoar in this area. The
current track stays in the middle of the avalanche path and maybe should be
rethought if there is a change in stability.
Have Fun.
