| Comments: |
Had snowed during the night with maybe .5 to 1 inch of new snow. With the wind, that translated to drifting snow and going through 4 to 8 inches of fresh powder just under Starr King and in the col area to Waumbek.
First 500ft of elevation: light snow over hard crust, ice, monorail.
Above 500ft the monorail increased in depth, but still solid.
Above 3700ft: fun pushing through fresh powder say 4 to 8 inches all blown in overnight.
