Needle and the damage done. The Uinta's were ravaged by the mid week wind event. If there wasn't so much SWE from the Dec/Jan AR events, most terrain would be stripped to dirt.
Comments
It's been a minute or two since I've worn this many clothes whilst pole dancing. But it is, of course, the western Uinta's where the air is a bit colder and winds a bit stronger.
