Parked a mile or so down from the traihead, skinned up the road and all the way up the trail with a few creek crossings, beautiful scenery for the ascent. Ridge was blowing pretty hard, a couple other parties skiing. It was blowing 20 or 30 and we skied conservatively by sticking to the wind-scoured aspects when possible. We observed a denser layer on top at the trailhead but snow at higher elevations appeared to be right side up.
The snow was light and snowplowing all the way down the trail was worth the damage I did to my skis..

Is that Dr Nicolai; department of Irish/ Bulgarian literature, or another Dr Nico?
Dr. Nikolai is not his real name, but it is how his name is saved in my phone. Also, His blonde Mohawk would not be welcome in any highly academic setting, so it's fair to say this is a different guy.
