Comments
Good day up at Pedley Pass. Spring conditions were present with melt-freeze crust present on all aspects thickest on the southern aspects. On the northern aspects, the crust got thinner as we gained elevation. With no evidence of instabilities after digging a snowpit and walking around, we rode some alpine southern aspects. As we were coming back up the south aspect, we noticed rapid warming when the sun was present and the snow surface became wet. later on, we rode some familiar northern-facing runs that have been skier-compacted
