Excellent powder skiing at Bow Summit today. Remarkably well settled
100cm snowpack with a 10cm basal layer of facets/depth hoar. Looks
like about 30cm of storm snow with little wind effect on the top 15
cm. Temps were below freezing and overcast most of the day with light
S winds. No whoomfing or cracking even on steep rolls. We still were
cautious and I would suspect Considerable avalanche hazard at treeline
and above, moderate below treeline but very limited observations. No
natural avalanche activity observed in the area, but the light was
mostly flat.
