Comments

Still just enough snow to skin all the way up and ski all the way out with decent coverage along the whole route. The mostly overcast day prevented the snow from getting wet and slushy by noon despite the mild temperatures, so we enjoyed some short but enjoyable corn laps from the peak and false summit before heading out as the snow continued to soften and became slightly sticky.
