AST 1 Crowsnest

<p>Cold temperatures in the morning -13 at the staging area but warmed up quickly. There was surface hoar in the valley bottom but less obvious at higher elevations. There were no shooting cracks or whumpfing as we toured up. Open slopes had a breakable melt- freeze crust on the surface from the warm temps yesterday. Snow depth was variable but the treeline average is 80cm.</p>
