Quick Observation

Day started cold (-14) and sunny. Solar output was high. Warmed up pretty quick as we gained elevation to a high of -4 South face of Grizzly Mountain stayed shrouded in clouds and seemingly unaffected by the sun. Skin track is solid. The final hundred meters required some sporty skinning and brief scrambling. Snow in couloir was light and deep. Sloughing was an issue. Lower elevation solar aspects had developed a sun crust that we observed on our ski down.
