A break in the weather! The route into the big Y is very good travel so long as you can see. Everywhere we traveled in big Y had seen some form of wind effect and feels a bit thinner than the West side of the pass. We had 140cm's of snow at 1600m and 175cm of snow at 1000m. Mild temps -9 at our high point and -2 at the parking lot! Best riding of the day was a quick session just off the tracks where the wind hadn't made it!
