Climbed in Field today. Very warm, around 0c in parking lot.
Went to start on Cascade Kronenburg, way to wet, Carlsberg didn't
have a dry line on it.
Pilsner was also very wet, but had some dryer lines. Around 3pm it
started to snow at the base of climbs and upon descent to parking
lot , turned to rain.
Rained all the way back to Golden and is now -1c in G-Town.
I would strongly agree with Larry, there is going to be some major
avalanche action very soon with the new loading on the poor, faceted
snow pack and a variety of surfaces.
Take care out there.
Merry Christmas.
Rich Marshall
