Steve Holeczi & I went up Mt. Huber today.  Due to the cloud cover & rain last 
night the freeze was not so great, but enough that we had to wear crampons.  We 
were thankful for an old track to minimize postholing on the ascent and 
descent.  We looked at the snow part way up the summit arete and found the snow 
depth to be about 70 cm with a 2cm thick ice crust 40 cm down.  Snow above and 
below the crust was moist.  It was all capped by a 5 cm thick crust that became 
more supportive the higher we got.  Cloud cover kept things cool enough in the 
mourning and no new avalanches were observed.
