Comments
Three days and two nights up at Grassy during this past warm spell. Open bivyed the one night to enjoy the star show! Incredibly hot during the day with the sun, but night time temperatures were hitting ~-5C and the snow was getting a good refreeze in the mornings. We were able to get ski laps in during the morning before the sun heated things up. Saw no avalanche activity, but also didn’t go looking for any.
