Comments
Another great day on skis in a banner year. Pulled up to Lambs after noon to find a stunning amount of vehicles parked at the trailhead, up the ramp, and all the way under the bridge. Really pronounced gradient in snowfall from the lower elevation trailhead to the ridgelines. Happy to find quite a bit less snow than in the upper cottonwoods, making for a much more managable day out in the terrain and a few more options for skiing. Seems like folks really got after it on Aire proper, as wall-to-wall, nearly every shot had tracks in it, from the mild to the wild.
A few of those skiers appeared to trigger small D1s but not much in the way of appreciable activity otherwise as we continued to hear explosive work ongoing in the neighboring canyons. Absolutely excellent skiing was had in zones with a little less skier pressure, blower up top, though could feel the impacts of warming temps on lower elevations and where solars got roasted from time to time with breaks in the clouds earlier in the day.
