Comments

We had a beautiful morning on our AST course with calm winds, clear skies, and temperatures around -12C. We observed some surface hoar growth in sheltered, shaded treeline areas and faceting in surface snow.

In the afternoon winds were blowing with moderate to strong gusts from the northwest. We observed snow transport at ridgetop and across the Prairie (exposed treeline).
