Comments
Adventuring in 12mile today we encountered intense greenhouse effect on all aspects to 2500m. We were surprised by large settlements on ridge top and very well preserved depth hoar turning us away from our main objective. Skiing was hot pow to 2000m and aweful beyond. Still good skiing to be had out there but very much still heads up on the adventure runs.
