-15C at Elk Pass at 9am Fri. Warm to cold transition on highway near Fortress Mtn. Had ourselves a proper meadow-skipping couch-maintenance tour of Elk Pass (a MaSid Special): Patterson meadows, East Elk Pass, boundary line and cut-block traverse to West Elk Pass, and finally the Blueberry meadows. The afternoon saw some sudden warm air mixing, as cloud movement in the viddy attest to, but it stayed plenty cold enough to preseve snow. Off-track travel is fine. Snowpack is more facetted than usual but there's still good bridging. Just "surf like a girl" and you'll make it there sportin' track skiis and race-pole baskets
