Last two days here have been stormy since the last post yesterday by Richard. Snowing non-stop since noon yesterday, the 12th, and the toe of the Athabasca glacier has 10cm+ of settled storm snow. Who knows how much is up higher?
Visibility has been very limited and the winds have been variable.
Lots of rockfall heard on the morrains and a couple of point release avalanches observed close to the Hilda area!
Good times
