- <p> </p> <p>Right out of the gates I found a few fresh drifts that cracked out in front of my skis. But, they settled out rather quickly and were generally well behaved as the day wore on.</p> <p> </p> <p>Last weeks clear weather produced weak, sugary, surface snow (Near Surface Facets) which are now buried and preserved... and it'll get tricky once we put some weight on top.</p>
I was able to stitch in 288 turns, but it's still bony... moronie, and the 4" of very light density snow from the 12-12-20 storm isn't dense enough to keep you off the bottom.
