Character building travel out there (not sure what character, maybe Ebenezer Scrooge!). At least the ridge tops made for easier travel than in the usual ski able runs which are brush covered and difficult to travel. The typical large cornices have not grown as there is not much snow to blow around. The snow pack is 15 inches at 7600ft, loose and completely faceted waiting for the next snowfall to create a slab.
