Snowing with 4-6 inches of new snow today. Winds were about 5mph but increased toward 5pm. Temps were in the 20s. The top of Manitoba was obscured but we could see across to Fresno.
Observation: Summit
Location: Lower (“little”) Manitoba
We took a quick run up lower (“little”) Manitoba after arriving for the NSAA weekend at the hut. We had 4-6 inches of new snow and the top of the mountain was obscured. We heard some low rumbles but couldn’t identify the source. (Not sure if it was construction activity)
