Used the handy ski lifts to begin our tour high in the area; above 6000' we were able to find nice 16" powder on North facing slopes.   Warming tonight will likely change that, however you don't know if you don't go.  Glad I did not just go back to sleep today after checking telemetry and finding increasing wind and warm temperatures; the day was great, with blue skies, no wind.  The visibility became difficult after it began snowing around 130PM.

Nice freeze frame at the end of Joe's cameo.  Good times...

Good times for sure.

My tree well camouflage comes across nicely on the video.

Hey, I can drift now, too, Ed.

Joe - glad you're back on the horse!

Fun video Silas.
