Comments
Mercury Basin offered some amazing riding in shaded protected areas away from sun exposure. Northwestern facing aspects offered some great snow quality.
Small sloughing on steeper sun exposed slopes (1-2 Inches of top layer snow moving)
Surface hoar is very prevalent on most aspects. Some very large crystal formations
1925 Chutes road incredibly well
Mercury Bowl/Treed Side/ and Far trees were some of the best snow we’ve seen since before Christmas
