Comments
Well I finally got out to the Uintahs to take a look at the snow pack. It's meager. Basically new snow and wind hammered snow on facets overlaying faceting October snow. Riding is just plan dangerous off the summer roads. The new snow is upside down thanks to the wind and the snow underneath is a facet factory.
