Back from a weekend on the Wapta. Saturday and Sunday morning felt like
winter again up there. 15 cm new snow on top of another 30-50cm from the
past week. Seemed well settled with some cracking in steep lee loaded
areas and some small loose sloughs. We were still cautious. Climbed St.
Nick on Saturday descending on the north (hut) side via the most
conservative line. Climbed Rhonda South today. Decent skiing though wind
affected. Moderate yesterday to strong SW winds today. Snow was moist
below the hut after 2pm today.
