Snow Conditions
crusty

We skinned up from the outlook point to ~+50m elevation past the warming hut. The snow line starts very suddenly and quickly reaches ~60cm in depth which was maintained all throughout Red Heather Meadow up until our peak elevation. We rode some mellow meadows out, as well as the skin path back to the outlook point and booted from there. Large surface hoar with a crusty layer right beneath, and another crust layer ~10cm further down. No wind, -1->+1 degrees.
