The sledding today at the microwave was not good. In sheltered terrain there was up to 20cm of light snow over the old hard drought layer. In the alpine and treeline that snow has been redistributed and in some areas scoured to the old hard surfaces. We spent the day bouncing off old half covered tracks or being surprised by the hard, slippery drought layer. Forecast snow in the next couple days will increase the hazard.
