Snow Characteristics Comments
Generally great snow that held up around the compass, with a slight melt freeze crust on the true south aspects and a bit of damp snow low in the drainage. Conditions have really improved with the last few storms and areas mid canyon have come on and the travel is easy and quite good.

No red flags where I traveled today.
Comments
With limited time today I only saw some mid elevation terrain that does not see a lot of users. It looked and felt like a mid 'February day with mild weather, the coverage is pretty good and riders are exploring those places that need more snow to get into.
The snow conditions were holding up with no wet issues, there was a slight crust on those due south facing slopes, but generally great settled cold snow.
It was nice to visit an area off the beaten path and enjoy some mellow turns.
