14-18" nice powder right from the base of the ski area. Moderate slopes had the sharks better covered. Cat tracks and skin tracks were good for skiing down where rocks were a problem. Lots of eager kids and geezers out today enjoying the sun and low wind.
Real pow but no real base. Should be fixed shortly, though.






Thanks Silas and GregL for the pics.

Thanks for the report! Snow looks fantastic! Still a little thin over here.

I was curious, did you see what impact the forest fire had on the Bullion Basin area while you were there? I was wondering how it would impact touring in that area.

Thanks,
Max

There is a good thread about the forest fire affected area in Random Tracks:

Ah, thanks a lot. Didn't think of checking the other sections.
