recent mcr reports.
Upper level clearing today, but substantial valley fog, and clag clinging to
mountainsides varying from1500-2200 m. These fog conditions seem to have
helped encourage surface hoar growth withing the fog, but it is not in all
areas. These crystals were as big as 5mm and they were rimed, on the last
steep slope leading to Balu Pass. Left undisturbed, this layer could become
a concern when buried.
Winds at ridgetop - moderate Westerlies - some transport observed. Cornices
seem large for this time of year.
Friendly skiing in the trees leading up to 8812 from Balu Pass
Play smart and enjoy the fun!
