These things were a plague last year. Too warm and wrecked the snow several times, right to the top.

The ski hill looks good this morning 45 cm thisafternoon better than a kick in the head with a hardtoe boot

 

[ferniesnow]

35 cm of fresh at the top of Koko Claims. Somewhat heavy but it didn't appear that the rain went much above 5000'.

We had a great day! 35 cm of fresh on top of 90 cm of layered, settled snow. The base is great and has been every ride this year.

Slab avalanches were very evident yesterday and I am sure it was due to the layers formed by sun crusts, hoar frost, and in the lower elevations rain crusts. The trees were great but the hazards are still not covered. Also, in the trees, lots of the little trees are a real pain in the butt as they are bent over and not covered. The smaller older cut off trees are also a hinderance.

Looks good Doug. See any pineapple

A little touchy this evening Randy??? Seemed like a lot of rain when it was happening. The only question was related to how the snow line would be. Glad you found it.
