[MCR] Wapta Banff Park 0126

Beautiful blue bird day, light west winds,  -15 to  -8. 

Skied lines on the W Face of Mt Olive and the NE aspect on St Nicholas.

We found great skiing on 20-30cm low density snow over a very firm wind hammered 120 -150cm snow pack over glacier ice.

We did not see the Jan 25 surface hoar in the alpine but we did find it down 5-10cm at tree line and below.

No new avalanche activity.

 

Cheers
