Comments
Skied a couple runs on the ridge and then one in Cardiac Bowl, light density snow on a alternating base of wind board and soft faceted snow. The only activity noted was a few decent size sluffs off of the steep rocky terrain. Wasn't really enough snow to change things much but it did provide a little cushion on the hard surfaces, basically lipstick on a pig.
