Comments
Quickly checked out the effects of the previous storm cycle. HS 150 @ 1400m, HST 120 @ 1400m. Heavy, unconsolidated snow made for arduous trail breaking and very limited skiable options. Snow started near the upper parking lot, and we skied/skinned to/from the car with only one small bare patch at the beginning of the trail.
