Comments

Yes, there was really good riding; however, the weather station received some TLC and we found sugary facets and feather surface hoar down 80 to 110 cm (responsible for some of the recent rider triggered activity). We stuck to less steep terrain without overhead hazard. All in a good daze work!
Good riding in 40 cm of storm snow and it was snowing all day -- to bad about the visibility.
