Old report from Saturday/Sunday at Buckhorn. 6pm Saturday found 6-8" firm with 1-2" new dense snow on top, wind 10-30 from south, 27⁰, snowing hard. 130am heavy snow 29⁰ windy. 6am clear, light wind, 19⁰, 10-12" total new of dense snow on 6-8" maybe more. Rode creamy, no face shots. I did note the slight warm up mid storm left a layer that could be a problem. Wrong place, wrong time thing. Stayed cold all Sunday(mid 20s). Report from Monday's storm was "just a few inches".
