Comments

True spring variable conditions. Saturday we skied the south chutes, partly cloudy, warm slushy snowpack by noon. Sunday stormy and foggy. Skied dog leg with plenty of snow base available. About 10mm of rain overnight changing to 2-3cm of fresh snow continuously falling throughout the day. Could skin up from the parking lot but beginning to get patchy.
