Still slim pickings in Manning

Seasonal temps and conditions, but very bony down low (below treeline is below threshold for avalanches and I wouldn't think about going off-trail at lower elevations). Marginal travel conditions at treeline... still needs another dump or two.

Solid & supportive bridging crust below the most recent snow (9cm of low density)... made for tricky edging on steeper sidehills. This crust could become a good sliding layer in the future... time will tell. ECTX
