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.
