Up and down the east ridge of Fraser peak under another beautifully inverted day. Alpine temps have dropped a bit but we still recorded-7C at 2100m. NE winds were steady at 20km/h and snow in the alpine is a variable mix of hard wind slab, 10cm lose over settled and fully faceted higher up in thin spots. One small settlement on an east slope just above Bryant lake otherwise no signs of instability.
