Snow Characteristics Comments

While traveling in what little snowpack there is, you feel as though you are in a recrystallized wonderland while on shady aspects. On sunny aspects it feels like spring, and I even spotted some buds on the aspens and willows. I can not recommend the skiing on Bobs right now (due to lack of coverage), in fact I would discourage against it.
