Comments
Went back for a couple of laps in the same bowl as yesterday. Found about 20 more tracks in it but still skied great. We stayed on the skier's right side where we hit less rocks than yesterday. On our second lap the surface snow felt a little thicker, but only a hint of it. The bowl still had no wind affect where we skied, the ridge top where we skinned had a bit more than yesterday. Wind transport in the run was low to none, all the tracks looked "fresh" and were not filled in, the skin track (again, on the ridge top) had some new snow packed in it at points.
Day started as mostly sunny and ended in total cloud cover. Cold winds coming out of the west.
