While temperatures were below zero when we started, sustained warmer temperatures has made the snowpack Isothermal.
Very important to stay on the snowmobile packed trail, or you will suddenly sink down to ground! The sun's heat has penetrated the snowpack, so it has no natural strength.
We enjoyed the previous night's 10 to 15 cms of new snow which provided a nice quiet glide on a solid base.
On the return, we did encounter some "Catch and Release" conditions in the changing sun and shaded areas. Remember to use a 'one foot forward and one foot back' technique to brace yourself and avoid calamity!
