Traveled up the creek toward Crowfoot Pass today. Experienced rapid warming making the surface snow increasingly heavy even on a northerly aspect at 2100m. Trail breaking - 15cm of ski penetration and 90cm of foot penetration. Test results showed 45cm of storm snow poorly bonded to facets below. Facets and depth hoar to ground below this.
