Comments

Very early conditions. Warm temps and lack of HS averaging in the upper 70cm’s may be why I don’t see any natural movement. Ski-cutting was fast, unproductive other than settlement. We were 3 skiers. Lots of Alder down low as well as downed trees and in upper ares the tree wells are begining to look deep as the HS rises.
