Red Flags Comments
Did a check turn just above the steepest part of Miller Bowl resulting in heavy roller balling and pin wheeling on the slope below. Decided to look for lower angled terrain, went to Holliday Bowl.
Comments
North facing portion of Holliday Bowl, 8300 feet, four inches of pencil hard October snow on the ground with a foot of November facets capped by a few inches of today's heavy storm snow.
Coverage in Holliday Bowl still pretty thin.
Just enough snow to sneak a line or two in.
