Highway Glades

<p>Started the day at 8:00Am with a temperature of -5C. Snow quality was superb with a recent 10ish cm on top of 6cm from Sunday. We dug a couple pits in open steeper areas on the climb and found no signs of instability. We rode a rock feature at the top multiple times and experienced a total mix bag of weather from fog to a high ceiling storm to sunny periods. When we returned to the truck at 2:30Pm it was 5C. Snow quality in the dense trees near the highway was very poor. </p>
