Snow Characteristics Comments

Looking towards the Wasatch Back and Sleeping Maiden.

The snowpack remains thin and boney, but the midweek storm did help to improve riding and turning conditions. However... I have set a rather low bar for myself this year :)

Big thanks to all the AvySavvy- Snowpros who took the time to talk with me yesterday, sharing their snowpack notions, theories, and of course, laughs. It was a great honor to spend time with such an accomplished community!
