Comments

Superb conditions on the upper open glades with 2ft of new snow. The day was quite warm but the snow stayed dry through the day. Ok in the lower trees and good conditions without any exposed rocks on the trail to the car. Other than the first 100m from the top, wind affected, amazing quality for the expected conditions
