Sounds like the dreaded hoar layer has shown its ugly face. Better be extra careful for rest of season. Good recipe for avalanche soup!
yep, that hoar is here....
we did a beacon test/search just yesterday. we found out one guys beacon is transmitting but not receiving. good thing i threw mine in the tree and made them look for it.
Today's update: The crust is still here but, if you get up around 10,000ft it is not as stiff and not even there in some places. Also, some fresh was falling today around the brooks lake lodge area. Climbing and boondocking are fairly easy since the snow has set up. The temps are dropping with clear skies tonight. High of 11 for the day tomorrow. While there is still a ton of untouched areas, the snow they are calling for is certainly needed.
Here are some pics form today.
