Comments
Comments: Plenty of four paw crawls on Nelson Crag. Nelson Crag between Old Jackson Road and tree line very wet, no snow. Old Jackson Road - dry. Diapensia sand Lapland Rosebay just coming out above tree line in lower elevations on Nelson Crag by auto road Crag Way. No alpine flowers out in alpine garden. Spring skiers still skiing left gully, bowl, and snow fields above Alpine Garden.
