Out for a ski today with a large group up the Lovatt Scout trail.
-19C @ 0900 in the parking lot at Maligne Lake.
About 20cm of low density faceted grains sitting on a crust right at
the ground in the parking lot.
Reasonable travel because just not much snow!
About 50 -55cm at 2200 meters. Generally unconsolidated pack with no
significant layering.
upper pack is 4F, midpack 4F+ and again 4F at the base.
Where wind affected we noted some subsidences on low angle south
slopes but no propagation observed.
no signs of any new or significant natural activity.
Still lots of hazards for sure!....decent gilding on the fire
road....."its skiing!"
