Unfortunately,

I've seen snow as gluey as today at Paradise, but can't recall it ever changing so much, so fast.  The morning's tolerable old powder on NW treed aspects at about 5K became almost non-kinetic in the time it took to skin up less than 500vf after the 3rd run.   :(

What temperature was your wax?


Warm.  Pretty sure it wasn't the wax, since partners who hadn't waxed yet this season were just as bad off or worse.
