Observations

A few notes from Monday:

Morning skinning on refrozen solar groomers was quite firm; only ski-crampons made a visible track. Mid-afternoon solar bumps were almost slushy. Sunny/mostly-sunny skies all day.

Photo comparison: Red Mountain from Saturday afternoon and Monday afternoon. The biggest difference is visible above the glide-crack on the SW ridge, where a chunk of snow apparently fell off sometime between Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon.
