Front Range

Snowpack

Jeremy Cantor · Feb 24, 2012 · Front Range

Temps in the teens. Strong, gusty winds below and above treeline, strong enough to blow you over at treeline. Sunny skies obscured by blowing snow.

Skied on east facing slopes. Most areas had a fairly stiff, 1" thick wind layer on top. Underneath, the mid-pack felt very solid and cohesive.
