Comments
Snowpack ranged from 150-175 cm on northerly aspects from 8400-9600
Heavily suncupped on all but northern facing aspects. Trees are definitely our friend in the up and down.
Snow in N/NE trees was smooth and we found good corn at 10:30am, temps were low 50s at that point with light NW winds. Approach and exits are definitely getting more challenging
