Snow Characteristics Comments
It was a mixed bag on North-NW Timpanogos today, with a trace of snow at 7500', and inch of snow at 8500'. Below steeper terrain there were some pockets of graupel that had pooled to about a foot deep, but mostly the snow conditions were the Melt-Freeze crust which didn't thaw today above 9000' with a skiff of new snow on top. Temps remained cool until late in the day under scattered clouds. Skiing conditions were a bit firmer then expected with the solid freeze last night and lack of direct sun for most of the day.
