Several recent storm slides. Snow characteristics changed around 2:00 or 3:00. When traveling from 2nd Bowl into Main Bowl saw significant rolling snow balls down the Eastern aspect of Main Bowl.
Some sun in the morning, overcast later in the day. 30-40F, light winds on the ridge tops. 45F+ at the parking lot at 4:30.
Surface crust on top, ~12” of fresh below. Later in the day warmed to light mashed potatos. Still good to ride though!
Trail past the weather station has some exposed patches.
