Quick Observation

Laps in the chutes between Log Cabin and Halcyon on Thursday. Wind was the word of the day with fresh wind slabs of various forms (soft, hard, breakable) above ~1050 m. Winds were steady from the south throughout the day. We didn’t bother climbing any higher than ~1200 m due to less than ideal conditions. Below 1050 m there was ~ 30 cm of fresh, unsettled snow which made for fun turns down to the highway. Not quite spring time in the pass yet, but the sun is starting to pack some punch: the snow at lower elevations was noticeably heavier on the second lap, thanks to solar effect.
