An incredible mixed bag of conditions. Weather was everything from very hot and sunny to thick high clouds with strong winds in the alpine. It even hailed for a short time. Snow in the alpine was shallow, wind compressed and slightly chalky/dry. Not as sun affected as the treeline where snow was deeper but also heavier. Both rode fairly well considering the temperatures and variability.
