Comments

My friend and I toured up from the Blackcomb Glacier into the Garibaldi Park (via East col) toward the Spearhead on Nov 28th (First in the zone ;). On the way up East Col I saw quite a bit of surface hoar ontop of wind crust - and took pictures. The night before was clear and cool so forming of surface hoar is expected.
