Today, we rode up to the Microwave via the Fingers access. The snowpack is currently in a freeze-thaw cycle and was very frozen this morning, making for lots of overheating on the way up to the Microwave. Snow began falling around midday with about 2 cm of accumulation whie we were in the field, which did little to improve the riding quality. Visibility was terrible, so we did not venture very far.
