Comments
Definitely felt a rain+wind crust in many places in the morning, especially getting onto the s ridge of brandywine. Soft spots were soft tho!
Probed about 120cm near brandywine glacier before new snowfall
Skiing to the meadows looked impossible in the morning, actually went decently by the afternoon! Ofc sharks abound but doable. New snow is falling strong. Bit worried about the crust and bonding to it, but wasn't out quite long enough to see how that'll go. Felt pretty freaking firm, in some spots it was just straight up ice
