I spent the last few days skiing in the Selkirks. Overall conditions were thinner than normal for this time of year before with many alders/ bumps below tree line and crevasses/ sags visible on the glaciers. Despite this, we found excellent skiing on N through E aspects. We heard reports of suncrust on S-W aspects and avoided these areas. Here are a few specifics from each day: Lily/ Dome loop - Jan. 9th
Great skiing to be had out there, but a nasty and atypical weak layer for the Selkirks lurking below. Cheers Ian Jackson ACMG Mountain Guide
