La Sal Mountains
The La Sals picked up 4" of medium density snow on Wednesday night. It fell with virtually no wind, and it is truly amazing what a few inches can do to freshen up things. Yesterday, I found good dust on crust conditions on south aspects, and powder over a mostly soft, supportable base on northerly aspects. The sun stayed mostly hidden yesterday, and temperatures remained cool, so conditions on sun exposed aspects should still be good this morning. WSW ridge top winds picked up around noon, averaging in the teens with gusts as high as 30. They shifted to the NW around midnight last night, and are currently averaging about 20 mph. It is 13 degrees at 10,000'.
