Continuing to avoid northerly facing terrain. Travels today took me to south-facing slopes in upper Little Cottonwood Canyon. Found 4"-8" of new snow in most areas. The dense new snow made for some great riding conditions on slopes sheltered from the wind. You could feel the underlying crust if you dug in with a turn or were in an area more exposed to the wind. The skiing was smooth and fast. Skinning up south-facing slopes was frustrating and slippery at times but got easier as the snow stacked up.
