A bit of snow overnight will go a long way to improving the skiing/riding quality but firm conditions are still prevalent at all elevations. Pick your favorite groomer off any of the lifts to warm up on and then venture off piste to find the powder. Ski Patrol will be engaged in more avalanche control this morning so respect all closures and signage. Have a good day.
Backcountry Conditions
Variable conditions at different elevations will be what is in store for you in the backcountry today. Storm/wind slabs likely exist in the higher alpine elevation, with dust on crust at treeline and below. Assess the ski quality as you gain elevation and use a conservative approach to terrain selection. Go to avalanche.ca for more details.
