Plans we're changed when we got to the top of the pass and we're greeted with moderate to strong winds and chilly temps. We pivoted and headed back to 5 mile trees in an attempt to hide from the wind, with limited success. Riding conditions we're ok. The previous temperature crust from a couple weeks ago was covered by 30cm of wind pressed powder, although pockets of grabby crust we're lurking. Overall good times, hoping for warmer and clearer days for the remainder of the week!
