Front Range

Snowpack

Day started partly cloudy with light snow. By 11:30, cloudy with moderate snow.We did not dig a pit. Main slope (upper Hidden) supportable windslab with about 1-2 new. Slab was somewhat grabby on the skis. We couldn't stab through the slab with pole grip. It was hard enough that it gave us occassional issues skinning up. Snow was blowing around pretty good (mostly off into the trees) and skiing was variable on this slope. Lee aspect (near or in the trees lookers left) held good powder and skiing was good. Any aspect the wind could touch was slabbed or slabbing.
