Balmy Beauforts

It was a warm one up in the Beaufort Range today, with +5 temperatures breaking down crusts on shaded slopes and greenhousey sunshine producing 5 cm of wet snow on sun exposed surfaces. All by 2pm. We saw surprisingly little avalanche activity from the last storms in the Mt Apps bowl with plenty of old tracks in aggressive terrain. Travel is excellent while skiing conditions are poor, but our thoughts are moving to tonight's cool-down and the likelihood of widespread hard crust conditions to come. Sharpen those edges!
