Inverted temps, 0F at the road, around 20F above the tree line and ridge. Calm winds. Sunny!
Observation: Turnagain
Location: Cornbiscuit
Cornbiscuit uptrack to about 3000 ft. Descended the Southwest face.
Weather
Snow surface
Widespread hoar frost growth, especially in the trees and alders. Seemed to diminish some with elevation, not sure if this is temperature related.
Had some minor sluffing early in the descent.
Ski quality was excellent through the alders.
Snowpack
160-180 cm on the ridge, some pockets of wind affected snow. Nothing cracked, but we also attempted to avoid the obvious areas.
Epic New Years Weekend!

Fun start to 2021!
