Snowpack Observations

Riding Quality

Variable conditions. Found some OK pow shots in sheltered areas and wind affected snow in exposed areas above 10,000ft. Wind from the S/SE creating fresh wind slabs on the standard East-facing shots off North Walton. The gully is starting to ski better, though still sporty and super thin through there.
