We went sledding up at Owl Head today. Poor visibility kept us in the trees where we were pleasantly surprised to find soft, and sometimes deep riding. It was a windy day, we could see the tree tops moving, and suspect that snow transport was occurring up high with the potential for new wind slabs to be forming.
