Comments

Driving in huuuge temperature. Hangs. Carcross -40. Log cabin -27. Fraser -18. Outhouse hill -10.

Loads of whoomfing that was load and broad (actually made me jump out of my skin a few times).

Lots of wind affect. Even in wind loaded areas it wasn't much snow. Icy in some parts. The higher alpine looked a sketchy with obvious old avalanche outlines or soon to be? Didn't get close. Decided to try log cabin instead
