Comments

First, thank you to the highway crew for opening up the road. It's the most snow I have seen on the parkway for a while.

There were really strong winds blowing east "and" west all morning with a lot of blowing snow at ridge top. On the glacier above the hut, I probed 285 cm @2700m.

Wind affected snow everywhere except in sheltered areas but still enjoyable skiing.

It was the first time I had to step down to get into the Bow hut. I finished shovelling the deck and whoever peed all around the front porch you are a filthy animal.
