Comments
Some co workers and I attempted a hike up "Little Kidd" to see how the conditions were. We made track up through dense and spaced trees, but found the snow to be Whumpfing, with substantial fractures, it was concerning. As we decided to stop progressing, we did find the open grassy slopes to be pretty fluffy and fun, with no whumphing or fractures. The snow on the wind blasted grass yesterday slopes had much less Facets. Be careful in the glades, terrain traps and bad bad snow
