Quick Poke into the Alpine

<p>Quick venture into the alpine (see snowpack tab). Deep, steep and amazing in the trees below the alpine. </p>

Weather Report

<p>Cold morning at porcupine cabin, around -23, but in the alpine found increased temps up to a balmy -11 & a strong sun which made -11 feel more like -2. Surprisingly no wind in the alpine (around 1300hrs). On the exit to the road from the cabin, the new snow on the logging roads was much more wind affected. Interesting to see stronger winds in the valley bottom compared to the alpine. </p>
