Comments
First Day at Sugarbowl of the season, didn't make it very high due to group fitness and didn't have time to dig in the snow at all, lots of new snow at all elevations. approx. 80cm at our high point around 1400m. new storm snow at 15-20cm very reactive lots of shooting cracks and sluffing. new storm snow was setting up into a slab more and more as the day went on. temps started at 1° when we arrived in the morning in the parking lot, got progressively warmer throughout the day.
