<p>Odd weather on Helen ridge with a slight inversion that seemed to be super elevation dependent. Get 5 m above it and dropped 5-10 degrees.
Lots of surface hoar everywhere on both sides of Helen ridge, bigger down roadside.
Most steep features on backside of crystal have sluffed with the recent snow. We skied the fan below sugar cube, dust on crust</p>
