Deep powder at Red Heather

<p>Very stormy day up at Red Heather. It was snowing around the chain-up area, and the snow really started to stick to the ground halfway to the upper parking lot. Snow pack was good to skin all the way up. Snowing the whole day, with about 5-10cm of fresh snow at the bottom, and up to 40cm at the top of Round Mountain. Pretty dry snow at the top, quite wet halfway down the out track. Didn't observe any slabbing or other instabilities, but essentially stayed away from anything that might have given those indications. </p>
