Comments
Inversion conditions, with significantly sun affected S/E, S, S/W slopes. Significant snow melt from trees, sun crust on steeper south facing slopes, and snowballing (from trees/cliffs) throughout Camp West and Gunbarrel runs. Great snow with top SH layer to be found at ~1700m and down, both in and out of trees.
