Comments
We started at Guardsman Gate at about 7:30 am and skinned up to 10420. Some weed whacking in lower elevations. At higher elevations, we saw wind loading. Some areas had 3+ feet of snow and others had dirt exposed. . We skied down Northeast Bowl and did not see any cracking or whoomfing.
When I got back to my car, it was snowing and there was weakly bonded snow all over my car (image attached.) Please be cautious of the weak layer forming this morning given the snow storm tonight.
