Good conditions (mostly)
24th March 2018
It was a mainly dry day with a good bit of sunshine but there were a few snow showers which brought stronger winds and lower cloud levels with them. Some rapid changes from sunglasses to goggles and hoods were needed.
Significant amounts of fresh snow were hard to find. The older snow was frozen hard above around 1050 metres, breakable crust from 1050 down to around 800 metres and soft and wet below this.
