Problem #1 Comments
Although we did not have any issues with wet snow up near the summit at ~11:00am, with rising temps tomorrow & Friday, that will likely become something to consider. We experienced pretty large rollers on the way down starting at ~7,500' with wet, heavy conditions all the way back to the trailhead.
Comments
We reached Ben Lomond summit at 11:15am and had phenomenal riding conditions. As it started to warm up, things softened up a good amount. Rollers started occurring on wet snow at around the 7,500' elevation mark, I expect that to rise over the next few days. Start early - get off the slopes early. Enjoy!
