Ron and I went up pea gravel ridge a ways to find 40" of powder. It's the most I have ever skied in. I have never experienced what people call snorkel deep powder. Now I know. "thank you sir, may I have another"
The snow wasn't blower light, better described as normal cascade powder. The stability was good on our aspects and elevations.

thanks for partnering up Steve. it's good on a day like that to share trail breaking duty, so there is a little energy left for the descents. WOO HOO!
as a side bar it was good to ski newton without the constant nuisance of the mt hood meadows howitzer in the background.

I once had a day in the wasatch of 36" untouched. It broke at my sternum to neck and I choked on chunks. It was the deepest quietest run of my life. Days like this, make a life,
