Snow Characteristics Comments
The snow conditions held up quite well today even with the mild overnight temperatures. Good supportable snow through early afternoon when I was leaving the higher elevations. Today, the Uintas had great riding and turning conditions and the upper elevation terrain has good snow coverage currently.

Comments
After a warm weekend some slopes are starting to shed some of their winter coat.
These wet debris piles don't always look like much from afar, but up close they could spoil your day.
Still looks like a nice deep snow pack right now.
