Comment
Recent storms deposited dry, small flakes, with 3-5’ cornices on the Baden Powell ridges. The trail was covered from 6400’ up. Good bonding, several ski cuts made with thin and thick skis resulted in no slides. Below 7000 some minor rollerballs, but the cloud cover this week has keep temperatures relatively low.
