Comments
Snow was good and stable such that we were able to ski some steeper aspects, a little wind affected in the Alpine. Noticed some surface hoar forming on S/SW facing aspects near the end of our the day (14:00). Temperature in the morning was -13C, warming to -2C at the car by the end of the day.
