2°C, Nil-trace snow fall, no winds, mostly cloudy
Observation: Hatcher Pass
Location: Idaho Ridge
Skinned from Gold Mint trailhead to see how conditions are and how the zone looked since all the big storms earlier in the year. Skinned two miles on Gold Mint and turned off towards Idaho ridge. The snow was very wet and heavy but gets drastically better as you gain elevation. Riding conditions were great despite the wet snow!
