I was ski touring April 20-22, out of a base camp in Big Eddy Creek, NW of
Revelstoke in the Monashee Mountains.
20-30 cm HST on the April 13 crust, bonding well. A windy day on April 21st
formed windslab and there was substantial wind transport. Wind affected snow
on the Big Eddy Glacier / Schrund Peak on April 22nd, but still very skiable.
Temperatures were cold, -18C when we flew in on the morning of April 20th.
Daytime highs of -9C, even with strong solar radiation on April 22nd. Still
winter in the alpine!
Very little avalanche activity noted, but watch out when it warms up!
