Quick report

Weather
cloudy, cold

Most of the day felt below threshold. There is a significant crust about 5-10cm down in the alpine. Unsure if it’s a sun or rain crust. Just supportive enough to make you think it would support you and then you’d punch through. No avalanches observed.

In the previous week there has been 5-10cm of new snow, filling in tracks and making traveling on foot more challenging.
