Comments
Good day sledding up the torpy. -5 @ truck in am. Trail in from parking lot minimal snow. About 35 cm at bottem of burn. Trail up burn in rough shape wasnt till at about 1300m the snow got good. Probed 145cm up higher on ridge close to 170cm in trees we were riding. Bad fog. never made it to second bowl. Turned around and went back to play in upper portion of burn as visibility was better. 1 PM heavy moisture drizzle started forming thick crust all the way up to the 1700 m we rode in. Easier to ride without goggles as they would ice up evert 10 min. Got back to truck at 330pm temp was +3. All in all fun day aside from drastic change of weather something to be notefull of going forwards later into season.
