Felt like around 3-4" new snow from the past storm and the travel conditions were a little dust on crust which made for pleasant conditions.

Comments

The snow line is still hanging around the mile 39 marker, which is just s short distance south of Sulphur. I would think with the upcoming warm up the road conditions will change quickly.

Not much going on in the Whiskey zone, I was finding the north aspects having some breakable crusts and wind effect. East facing terrain was the ticket wih generally smooth and friendly snow.
