Comments

Allen Cr delivered the powder today, but before we got too distracted we dug down to test a few layers of concern. The persistent weak layer from mid February seems to be going away but we found a weak layer of surface hoar in between a crust and the new storm snow that produced concerning results. -6 degrees at 2000m, light snow and obscured skies today. We rode the trees and small features.
