Hero’s Knob

Beautiful day on Hero’s knob. Started off at -24 at the car around 8am and temps rose to around -6 by 11am when we reached the top. We noted some dry loose activity on steeper, east facing aspects that looked to be somewhat recent. South facing alpine slopes were also starting to get a bit wind affected in that area as well. On the north aspect that we skied we noted relatively little wind affect in the alpine with the snow being soft and unconsolidated. Lower down on sweet 16 we noticed some wind affect and a thin wind skin on the surface.

Temps rose steadily from -24 at 8am to -6 by 11 with it feeling significantly warmer directly in the sun Very little wind except for the odd light gust.
