Clear skies today gave us the opportunity to get up to Mear Lake, which we avoided yesterday due to no visibility of over head hazards. Both paths on the approach had run in the last 24 hours and a couple small pockets on the headwall above Mear Lake had popped out. 15 - 20 cm new snow was unconsolidated and made for good sledding in the meadows.
