TRACE OF NEW SNOW FELL YESTERDAY
Just a trace of some high density snow fell yesterday as flurries blew in from the NorthWest, Hopefully that little bit of fresh helped improve the grip as even the wind buffed patches yesterday were starting to get really firm as temps dropped. Today will be similar to yesterday, high flying clouds and wintery temps, no chance for snow, but that can always change.
Today's temps will range between 11°F at the summit, and 24°F at the base, with winds continuing to gust out of the West to 35mph at the summit.
It's crazy to think how rapidly we are approaching February, and how we are not expected to have any snow for the rest of the month. Let's pray nature throws us some curveballs over the next week and a half. Cold temps through this week so we shouldn't have to worry about much sun baking, but then things start to heat up. There still remains a sense of optimism in the entire American West about an upcoming banger of a spring, a belief that snow must come at some point. Old Farmer's Almanac suggests so at least. At least we've got plenty of groomers to carve, and decent coverage on our steeps to get out, move our bodies, and enjoy the great outdoors.
