Comments
-5 felt tropical today even with moderate to strong SW winds in the alpine. We found hard wind slabs, scoured patches and even grass in some places. Cornices have been growing as of late. With the forecasted warming and snow we will likely be dialing back our terrain choices in the next few days.
