General Observations
Skinned in and camped at the toe of the Castner glacier. Snow conditions and depths varied depending on aspect/location. Generally, there was about 4 inches of powder covering a harder layer of wind blown slab. The slab was easily breakable making travel without skis/snowshoes challenging. The base was mostly faceted snow. Temps ranged from 22F in the sun to -5F at night. We did not dig any pits.
