Up and around the Heart Mountain loop today. Snowed for most of the day, but wet enough that even up high we saw only a few cm's of accumulation along the upper ridge. Freezing level came right down to within about 100ft or so of the Trans Canada. The snow on the upper ridge was mostly supportive but we did punch though in the odd spot here and there - seems like a lot has melted off since Barry's post last week, but I don't think it'd be a ton of fun on a warm sunny day up there just yet. Still be a lot of post-holing going on. Guessing about another week of warm weather should sort it out.
