Generally good conditions on Grizzly shoulder. There was a definite inversion and it warmed up as soon as you got 100m or so above the valley. Stayed at or below tree line and found no wind affect. We could feel the sun crusty 60cm down although it was softening up and not super crusty. The new snow would slough on this layer on steep terrain. Down lower we got some shooting cracks but the snow was still unconsolidated. Still lots of obstacles on the lower half due to low snow pack
