AST 2 Field day. We rode the McGill slide paths in great snow conditions. Slide paths had old tracks that were mostly filled in but the tree lines on either side of the slide paths were largely untouched. Upper sections had a wind crust at 35 cm but powder on top and the crust largely disappeared at tree line. *Summer trail is currently icy, below seasonal conditions and dangerous.
Weather
Power flurries S1-S3 and winds gusty and increasing in speed in the afternoon
