Softening snow in aspects in the sun on the descent, shaded areas still hard. Coverage is barely there, wouldn’t have known it snowed on 3/28/2022, lots of rocks and branches beginning to poke out, choose your path wisely. This was likely the last weekend this area was skiable. Publish this observation Yes I would like this observation Published |
