At 8am it was already warming and 0 degrees at 2100, conditions deteriorated rapidly when the rain started. Evidence of slab activity down 30cms in the storm. Limited obs. Tracks from 3 weeks ago still visible. HS was 105cms at 2000 meters. Cautious of smooth bed surfaces and kept it to low angled terrain. This should make a good base when it cools down.
