Recordist's notes

Weather deteriorating, gusts of wind, snow flurries, perceived temperature falling. Skiers, hikers and a ski sledge with a tent structure from which a baby registers discomfort. I stood with a pair of Line OM-1 microphones on stereo bar on a monopod pointing towards a metal sign to reflect sound (and protect from building wind, from which I tried to use my body as another shield).
