Was in crowsnest last week staged at powderkeg. plenty of snow on the trails. went to the plane crash and the snow was getting real sticky and soft. avalanche risk high so played int he lower trails and found some fresh? crusty snow. With the weather do not know what it would be like this weekend but should be rideable.

conditions from Atlas staging area:
- about 3 inches of new from Wed night and Thursday morning. Blue bird in the afternoon.
- minimal powder to be found - hero snow - (softer in the trees).
- trails in good to moderate shape.
- heard a number of slides rumble - be careful.

The pictures posted at Mountain Memories (from Feb 19th) look to be close to what I experienced: atlas pics

A good day considering the recent warn temps.
