Comments
Temperature started out about -5C and we had a few awesome runs a treeline in calm, cool temps. A couple of hours from sunset the wind picked up and the temperature noticeably dropped. -19C and howling by the time we got back to the car. Full on storm shortly after that. Glad to get the last of the nice weather for the next few days!
