Hot sleds and great views in Kakwa today. A surface crust from last week's warm weather reached up to 2100m and even higher on southerly slopes. That strong crust made for easy travel, occasional icy spots and overheating sleds. We found some ok riding at upper treeline and alpine. The snow stayed cold and dry today.
