Comments

Today turned out to be warmer than we anticipated. Even at an elevation of 2000 meters, the thermometer still read 4°C, indicating some unexpected warming trends. Despite this, the snow conditions were subjectively good enough for an enjoyable ride, though we did encounter some signs of instability. Meanwhile, at the lower altitudes, it rained persistently throughout the day.
Some wet loose activity.
