3 day hut trip in the cariboos at Muncton (thank you to the local club for the amazing hut) 31st - Jan 3rd. Really warm touring into the hut on the 31st +3 degrees at 1400M. We witnessed some small wet loose activity and pinwheeling. Weather was 8/8 with snowfall ~15cm/24 hours Jan 1st and 2nd with increased snow fall on Jan 3rd. Light winds from N.Temp steady between -2 - +3C Really good riding conditions in the trees and on wind sheltered slopes. Pit at 1900M Jan 2 . NW aspect, CTH25 down 40, RP. Happy new years!
