<p>The snowpack is still shallow and is mostly sugary faceted snow that does not have a lot of base to it. The winds have created some stiff wind slabs that would easily break as you traveled over them and these are resting on weak faceted snow. </p>

Conditions are slowly looking better, but still on the thin side and hoping the next storm really delivers some good snow totals. There were a few riders out today finding a few places to ride.

Sunday's storm left about 4-6" of medium density snow which did not change the landscape all that much.  Travel is still a little tough trying to avoid rocks and trees.
