Ogdens finest shwack! Unseasonably shallow snowpack makes for challenging tours. On average, there was approximately 13" of snow with up to 17" in deposition zones in and around 7000'. The obstacles outnumber the ski turns atleast 3 to 1. The upper 10" of snow is plagued with near-surface faceting on top of a stout melt freeze crust.
