Wasn't lucky enough to get those early morning temps and I sure wish I was. Went up Grizzly Shoulder around noon(-4 at the car) by 13:00, it was significantly warmer, as surface hoar was developing like crazy at and below treeline. Made it up to the base of Sifton, where I was expecting to find lots of wind affect, but surprisingly saw very little. As I came down Puff Daddy, there was a breakable 2cm sun crust forming on southerly aspects and the rest of the snow was pretty heavy and a bit wet. No natural activity observed. Stunning day in the pass with great views all around.
