Comments
Went to Coquihalla Lakes Ridge in hope to find the deepest snow of the season. Instead, we found widespread moist, sun affected snow. There was also a crust buried down 15-20cm at some places.
We also observed a size 1.5-2 crown near the steep cliffs near the top the ridge.
Our car read +3°C we we got back, and the sun was hitting hard all day... I expect all lower elevation & steep south to have a sun crust tomorrow... Welcome to March!☀️🌴
