Comments
Day started cold with light wind from ENE but warmed to around 0 in the afternoon. Observed surface hoar 3-8mm on areas open to sky view. Some wind affected snow on northerly aspects, with a crust about 10cm thick in places. Still good skiing to be had coming down the north ridge of Brooks. Views were much better than the office.
