All the weather today. Snow and no vis to start, the clouds dissipated and sun came out, then the wind fired up. Glad to have ski crampons for lower elevations. Between 2100 and 2200m is where the great snow starts, 35 cm of low density. Stuck to the sheltered trees to avoid wind effect. Ridge top winds were quite strong starting later afternoon. Meachen fsr currently ‘considerable’ for sled whoops…..
