April 13 No observation. Light snow and flurries turning to steady snow by late afternoon, with the ridges obscured all day.

Mount Lorette [Day 44] (Alan Hingston) Unlike P-SL the ridges were clear all day and there was no snow, although smoke from a controlled burn to the south hung in the valley until noon. The temperature rose to a high of 5C from -8C and was still 2C at 1900, ground winds were E-SE in the morning and NE in the afternoon generally light but occasionally gusting to 15 km/h, and ridge winds were light to moderate W all day. It was cloudless at the start but cirrus and then cirrostratus cloud quickly formed reaching 100% after 1100. Not surprising considering the snow to the south there was little sign of raptor movement which comprised only an adult Golden Eagle at 1238 flying slowly to the north over the western peaks, and a juvenile Bald Eagle flying to the north above the valley at 1633. 12 hours (495) BAEA 1 (86), GOEA 1 (1154) TOTAL 2 (1302)
