Spring conditions were in full effect at 5040 this week. Overnight temps on Monday and Tuesday dropped below freezing, with temperatures well above 10C throughout the day. A surface crust melted late in the morning, making for some very moist, but enjoyable riding conditions mid-day. By late afternoon, the snow became completely wet, making uphill travel challenging. While setting a skin track on a steep west-facing slope, we set off a couple size 0.5 wet-loose slabs.

Snowline starts around the bluff, halfway up to Cobalt Lake. Still lots of snow up at the hut.
