Mercury Basin offered some amazing riding in shaded protected areas away from sun exposure. Northwestern facing aspects offered some great snow quality. Small sloughing on steeper sun exposed slopes (1-2 Inches of top layer snow moving) Surface hoar is very prevalent on most aspects. Some very large crystal formations 1925 Chutes road incredibly well Mercury Bowl/Treed Side/ and Far trees were some of the best snow we’ve seen since before Christmas
