The snow in Horse Creek is still pretty thin in places. We had to choose our lines carefully as there was still plenty of grass and shrubs poking through in places with rocks only 5' under the surface in places. Seemed like the snow had a hard time holding on up there during our January dry spell. We got lots of small to medium collapses on our way in on north and west facing slopes on the way into the drainage, but not much activity to speak of on the southwest slopes most likely because of the lack of snow. The high temps and abundant sun created some damp conditions later in the day, a good reminder to wax those skis and cary some skin way with you.
