Nathan, that's exactly the snow I am talking about - I HATE IT ! - quite often the rescue road on Blackcomb (cat track from bottom of Spankys back to Excelerator chair) gets that way.

Horrible stuff. That "grabby" snow is atrocious to ski on. Forget the beginners, it was giving ME fits last week. Thankfully there was only a small section of that around Olympic Station elevation last Thursday.

I went up the Peak and couldn't see anything more than 2m in front of me. Sometimes, I couldn't even see the snow that I was skiing on. However, a little bit lower into Million Dollar Ridge (which I know I'm not supposed to go on), the conditions were phenomenal. Knee deep fresh tracks. So fun!
