The Farm/Mt. Charles

<p>Two days up between the Farm and Mt. Charles. Saturday was amazing skiing with some of the most interesting snow. Last weekends/weeks ice crust was buried under about 20cm of blower pow. Amazingly this interface was both crazy slippery and yet possessed incredible inertia. You couldn't make it slide. -7° mid mountain and on and off snowing, no wind. Sunday was cold and nice until around 10am when a system came in from the South with strong winds and warm temps. Snow was melting and heavy at lower elevations and quickly deteriorating at higher elevations from the strong winds. +3 at valley bottom and warm and stormy.</p>
