Comments

Spring like corn snow could be found at just the right time and place this afternoon. The day started cold with -20 at Fraser but a strong temperature inversion gave us warmer start in the alpine. By noon it was -1C at 1150m. A slight N breeze. We skinned up to the top of the ridge above Fraser and skied snow just soft enough to carve on South aspects around 30 degrees.
