Comments

Cloudy day with very light snowfall that turned into sunshine around 2pm. No wind all day and temperatures near or just above 0 with snow melting on the skis even on ridge tops. Pretty sticky but consistent and predictable everywhere we went. Creeks are starting to open up at valley bottoms with holes that are mot always easy to see. Nothing much to report here except that the stoke was high among most parties that we saw/heard and skiing is still very fun!
