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 after picking up our new sled I got to experience this spectacular sunset.
Skies are partly cloudy and temperatures in the teens and low 20's. Winds are light and variable, blowing just 10-15 mph, even along the high peaks. Yesterday's weak, little cold front delivered an inch or two of snow and this morning you'll find cold, 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.

Ted was in Gold Hill Tuesday and found a nice, deep snowpack and mostly stable conditions. More on his travels here.
Looks like a Uinta avalanche doesn't it? 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)
