Snowpack

Snowpack: We toured up the west side of coney’s, put in skin track & did one lap. HS ranged from 100cm to 140cm in measured areas. New snow was 15+ cm of 1-2cm +. There was twice as much snow at coney’s compared to the packing lot. Boot pen 35 cm ski pen 15cm. Ridge top wind loading, cornices have grown since last week. Skiing was super good. Lots of tracks in coney’s but still room for some more.
