We climbed Kitty Hawk Monday. Minimal snow on the approach. We had planned on climbing KH and Unicorn but the daggers were very wet and dripping on Unicorn so we opted to descend. At 2:30pm it was 6c at the car with light rain. Higher up it was snowing, looked windy and looked to be accumulating in the bowls above Kitty Hawk, C’est La Vie and Eilliot Left.
