Spring? What's "spring"?

Back into winter today up at Mear Lake. We found 10 cm of new snow (yay, fresh pow!) overlying a supportive-to-boots crust on all aspects and elevations. The sky was overcast, with on and off snow throughout the day. Temperatures stayed below zero (- 2 at 2200 m ) keeping that crust from breaking down, and there was only light wind - so no cornice-building, or wind-loading. With all that, we weren't surprised to see no new avalanches, nor signs of instability. Access up Crossing Creek is very bony up to the old Sawmill site, but great after that. Thanks @ElkfordSnow for a great season, we appreciate all of the work you do for the trails!
