Snow Characteristics Comments
Generally supportable snow this morning, but things did soften rather quick today and the east facing slopes were done by mid morning. Mondays new snow needs a few melt freeze cycles to finish getting set up and supportable. Today it was easy to muck things up with roller balls as the recent snow needs to consolidate.
Comments
Slopes on the north side of the compass are still in transition to a spring snow pack with lots of roller balls and wet snow.
Snow cover is still decent around 10,000', but the access is getting a little harder with roads melting out quickly.
