Comments
We skied the north side of the sub summit of Zoa, it was hot and sunny. We noticed lots of pinwheeling, some sloughing on steep slopes. By late morning we noticed how soft the snow was getting, sinking in with skinning and sticky grabby turns on the way out. The makeshift creek crossing is still in place.
