Deep Canyon, Wellsville Mountain Wilderness
Comments
We did not find great spring conditions except in a few smoother places in lower-angled terrain in upper elevations. The snow up high in Deep Canyon was hammered by the strong easterly winds last week, exceedingly warm temperatures, and powerful sun this week. In some places, sastrugi and previously wind-drifted areas were interspersed with glistening melt/freeze ice patches. The dusty layer from March 1 was back on the snow surface in many places, speeding the melt and adding to the inconsistency of the snow surface.
