Quick report

The wind came through last week and it is evident everywhere: bumpy trails, wind effected ridge tops, and snow under your feet. The snow from yesterday offered some good relief. Not quite enough for great snow machining but good skiing.

Keep an eye out while this new snow settles and the storm slabs lurk below it.
