Kootenay Pass always seems to deliver. With not too much snow so far this year we switched it up and instead of looking for choker powder snow, we went looking for terrain. Pretty simple task with terrain being served up in bucketloads within a few kilometers of the parking lot.
Spent January 26th thru 28th skiing the pass. The storm snow over the Jan 23rd layer didn't have any cohesion to it on the northeast thru northwest aspects we explored. Sluffing on the interface grew with added snowload throughout the weekend. By Monday, loose sluff on steeper features was getting significant.
