<p>AST 1 course tour along treeline towards Miller Ck, steady snowfall all day, 2cm/per hour rate of snowfall, with up to 20 cm accumulation by dark.

Light winds with no real transport at TL, but a lot of snow is available for wind transport and loading, and winds were increasing late in the day from the SW.</p>
