Huge thanks to Weller's Recreation for generously coordinating our great loaner program with BRP/Ski-Doo and helping to provide a new sled to use for the 2016-17 season. We're super grateful to have such amazing partners helping us keep riders on top of the greatest snow on earth.
Bonus... stepping out of Weller's shop in Kamas last night, I got to experience this spectacular sunset.
A weak cold front drifted into the region late yesterday, producing clouds and overnight low temperatures in the low to mid 20's. West and southwest winds are blowing 15-25 mph along the high peaks. It was balmy yesterday and low elevation terrain took on some heat. However, gain just a little elevation and you'll be rewarded with light, creamy snow on a mostly supportable base. Riding and turning conditions are about as good as they get.
Real time wind, snow, and temperatures for the Uinta's are found here.
Recent observations are found here.
Ted was in Gold Hill yesterday and found a nice, deep snowpack and mostly stable conditions. More on his travels here.
Stomping around in Upper Weber Canyon yesterday, about the only game in town was some shooting cracks on a recently wind loaded slope.
Meanwhile in the Wasatch... two extremely lucky riders came out on top after a very close call in Little Cottonwood Canyon late Monday. (M. Staples photo)
