Comments
Amazing day of sailing the storm. 45cms of storm snow at upper treeline provided some great riding. Shooting cracks on almost every convexity, several whumps.....the snowpack is not happy right now. Was a great day to stick to low angle terrain. Alpine winds were moderate from the SW but gusting extreme at times. Precip varied from 1cm per hour to 3cms per hour throughout the day. New precip mixed with winds quickly covered most tracks. Check out Frozenpirate on facebook to see a quick video observation from today. Ride safe and enjoy this new snow.
