Comments

Puttered around silvern and schufer lakes today.

Mostly cloudy, with small windows with decent visibility. Winds generally calm, although some big gusts through the day.

Snow surface got quite warm after the sun came out behind some thin cloud creating greenhouse effect.

We skied the claim stake. We did a roped ski cut on wind slab on the entrance convexity and got a size 1 to go. Slid fast and propagated almost 10 meters out from the skis.

Sled quality in the morning was pretty good, but by mid afternoon was quite heavy.
