Quick Observation

Firnspiegel is when the snow surface becomes glassy and hard due to an ice layer forming on the surface while the snow below the ice melts due to the greenhouse effect caused by the ice. This was happening today on sun affected slopes. Trail and uptracks are challenging - will improve with more snow.
