Comments
Windward aspects mostly scrubbed clean of last night's 2cm new snow. Some light transport at ridge top and lower in early afternoon. The terrain here is big, but generally blows off fast, and I've seldom seen debris over size 1 on west facing terrain in this area. I'd still be cautious below lee accumulation zones downwind of big fetches (Hydro, Sorcerer etc) especially with new snow or high winds but stepping out mindset on windward climbs. Nice climbing, bit wet and chandeliered in places. Drive mostly easy.
