Feeling thankful for the success Logan, Kvik and I Feeling thankful for the success Logan, Kvik and I had on our first winter base camp together. We experienced heavy packs, deep snow, a little storm with 15cm fresh powder and an early morning summit under blue skies. Oh ya...and some super fun skiing along the way! #BigThanks #skitouringfamily #snowsafety #wintercamping @ospreypacks
Just sharing a little moment from up at @valkyradv Just sharing a little moment from up at @valkyradventures today. Great skiing and riding conditions right now. Spacious lodge, excellent food and availability for locals! #skitouring #splitboarding
This is a natural wind slab avalanche that occurre This is a natural wind slab avalanche that occurred likely early this morning. It measures 30-120cm deep,190m wide, and 400m long. Classified size 2.5. Mid-track it stepped down to the Deep Persistent Layer of Nov 5th crust/ facets which is located 40cm from ground. Obviously this Nov layer can be triggered by heavy loads. We are just coming out of a long storm cycle with 30-40cm of recent snowfall and 3-days of mod-strong W-SW winds. There have been numerous natural wind slab avy's odserved to 2.5. They are likely now ripe for skier/ rider trigger. Be careful out there the next few days with the nice weather inviting us to go up high. Location: Valkyr Range, Southern Selkirks #snowsafety

Snowpack test profile today in the North Kokanee R Snowpack test profile today in the North Kokanee Range on a NW aspect at 2100m. Height of snow 155cm. Open bowl feature, just below a ridgeline. The Oct 18th rain crust was not observed at this elevation in this area. The early Oct rain crust was down 75cm. Compression tests showed no significant shears.

Caution variability in snowpack character when stepping out in bigger terrain. #snowsafety
