Wapta Conditions?
Hi, just curious if anyone has been up on the Wapta recently and can advise of the conditions? I anticipate that things must be pretty thin in terms of snowpack, but any advice would be appreciated.

Wapta Conditions?
Hi, just curious if anyone has been up on the Wapta recently and can advise of the conditions? I anticipate that things must be pretty thin in terms of snowpack, but any advice would be appreciated.
Was up the 93 yesterday and did (easy) laps along Bow Summit. Looked accross the valley (east) and noticed it was fairly wind scoured atop.
We had a storm cycle of about 15cms wednesday/ thursday (January 9th) week. Lots of wind blowing through the Yoho valley. I suspect is was fairly wicked up there as well.
I'm heading up towards the Bow again tomorrow. If I see anything significant, I'll reply again
