We were out a few times over the last week a little south of Revelstoke (more around Nakusp). We were skiing cut blocks - one was around 1800 m and has about 5 feet of snow now and the other was a little lower, maybe 1200 m and was less than 4 feet of snow. There was plenty of anchoring stumps on both blocks, but we noticed one good whumpf after landing a 10 foot drop and on the lower block we dug a pit and found the snow to move relatively easily at ground level although we were confident nothing would actually slide due to the anchoring terrain.

No alders showing, but I don't think there were any underneath either. The higher block was great and I would ski it anyday. The lower one needed more snow.

Thanks

Just got back from North of revelstoke and it was blower over the head in the trees and windslab in the alpine.
