A warm, sticky skins dog lap in the Lumberton area. Light rain at 1300m transitioned to heavy snow and rapid accumulation at 2000m. We didn't ride steep or unsupported terrain but storm slab formation was evident in open areas. Our skin track was covered by 5-8cm of new snow over the 4 hrs we were out. Riding quality was surprisingly very good. Bring your skin wax!
