Comments
The day started out foggy with tempretures around -2c and quickly changed as the sun came out intermittently and temps rose to above 0. Snow was fairly dense and wind affected on ridgelines. Visibility was poor other than short breaks from the fog when the sun was out. Saw no recent avalanche activity.
