Poking around and brushing off the cobwebs

<p>Went up to East Peak to check out how this season’s snowpack is shaping up as well as try and remember how to tour. We stayed well outside the resort boundary (don’t poach resort terrain). Riding was pretty good but definitely still thin/sharky in spots. </p>

Weather Report

<p>Sky was overcast and a bit foggy with about 50m of visibility. Moderate winds from the west visibly transporting snow. Trace accumulation during the day, minimal compared to the precipitation during the past couple days. Total of probably around 40cm from this recent storm system. Air temperature was well below freezing, max of probably around -5 and max of around-10 (although we did not take any measurements so this is an estimate). </p>
