Sunny Mount Fee

Decent riding up in the protected, north-ish aspect alpine. Otherwise pretty bad. Sunny slopes are hard crust, treeline and below is really icy and crusty. Some areas near the ridgeline are wind affected. 4cm wind crust cracked under my skis in some areas of the alpine, appx 4cm crust. No shooting cracks, but snow felt hollow in those areas. Significant hoar frost development all over, including treeline and below. Few centimeter crystals at ~1200m, smaller sparkles in the alpine.

Clear morning, changing to few clouds by noon. Broken by the early afternoon. Temperature relatively constant and comfortable. Significant inversion from the valley bottom (-4 in the morning) to the parking (800m, +3 at 8am.) At noon, Alpine was probably zero degrees or a couple above. Zero wind.
