Found ok riding today. S aspects were still damp due to cloud cover last night. E and W aspects were crusty but supportable in places. I am hashing bets on when it snows what our avalanche problem could be but I see no real snow in the future. In many places tree wells are now to the dirt. Skiing down lower in elevation is semi treacherous. There is still a decent base so if WINTER does strike back we will still have wonderful skiing into April.

No real notable avalanche danger today.

Sorry about lack of posts don't want to sound like broken record though!
