Clouds around Cokley

We finally made it back down south to see how things are shaping up headed into this next storm system. The snow line is sitti g around 1100m, below that it is full on mountain biking season. From 1200m and up we were happy to find that what has been a polished crust in much of the rest of the region, has 1cm of wind blown snow softening the surface for some pleasant but variable skiing. The crust under this snow changes from being fully supportive BTL and TL to being breakable in the Alpine. We started out in the sun and watched the clouds build throughout the day. By the time we made it back down to the truck, there were gentle snowflakes beginning to drift down from the sky. We are looking forward to the refresh that is coming, but keep these crusts on our minds.
