Expressions of Interest for a hike up the Camelback Fire Trail to Pierce Hill to see if there is any snow. As of Thursday, the ACT forecast for Saturday includes “Snow falling above 1500 metres, min temps -1 to 2°C and max temps 8-13°C” and for Sunday includes “Snow falling above 1100 metres, min temps 0 to 5°C and max temps 5-10°C”. Pierce Hill is 1363m ASL. Altitude and wind lowers the temperature to the ‘feels like’ temperature. Around 17km and 750vm climb. We’ll need warm and waterproof clothes and waterproof shoes/boots.
