Comments
In York creek we found 20 cm of powder from the recent upslope storm. This light snow is sitting on buried wind slabs that are still producing some results in snowpack tests. All the snow geeks can refer to our profile picture. This light snow is barely covering rocks and bare sections that were scoured from the last round of winds. We skied slopes that were protected from the wind and enjoyed boot top pow on a supported piece of terrain.
