Snow Characteristics Comments

More of the same just different area with lots of weak surface snow, some wind effect and a melt freeze crust were the conditions today in the Mill Creek Drainage. The riding and turning was not all that bad on the north side of the compass. Surprised to find the snow was supportable with just over 100cm of total snow and a mostly stable snow pack.

Terrain on the south side of the compass is looking rather thin and bare.
