Notes:
NW wind up top + ?S wind lower down + some thermic activity made for an interesting day at Grouse. Decided to head out early, but caught a nice and consistent (for a change!) thermal off the parking lot near the gondolas, that took me from 800 m ASL all the way to 1400 ASL... and all the rowdiness that comes with it... that nobody but me seemed to have noticed... again ;-)
