Comments
Great skiing in the trees this morning before temperatures rose in the afternoon. Skied trees between 900-1400m, west aspects skied well below treeline but northeast aspects in afternoon felt upside down as it warmed up (cream cheese). Strong E/SE winds above the trees. Raining/sleet in the parking lot at end of day.
