Quick report

Toured into valley from Mint trail. Temps in sun were above freezing from parking lot all the way up to high point. My high point was just above 4000ft North facing. I was up this valley last weekend and temps were much cooler. Sometime over the past few days the temps must have really increased , even on early morning Easterly slopes. All aspects have a firm 1/2" to 1" crust on them in the AM and became custard to isothermic by 1PM.
