Comments

Good day on Ridge 2000 / 2001. Several other groups in the area. Clear and sunny, but the cold air seemed to keep the surface dry (couldn’t make snowballs, even in the late afternoon). Notable wind effect on various aspects. Patchy wind slab above ~1800m, some wind “skin” below. Small surface hoar present at tree line.
Patches of wind affected snow, more severe above 1800m
