Wow.

What was a couple of inches in the forecast Thursday night turned into 7.  Well, 7 reported but it seemed like more up high.  Visibility was crap late morning when all the Alpine lifts open.  To kill time hoping for some clearing I hooked up with a local as we were skinning the cat track to Flute Peak.  We headed out of bounds to Oboe and took a couple laps in knee deep and light powder.  Kept it low ange for the most part and nothing was moving.  Good warm up for a full backcountry day tomorrow.
I wish it were easier to post pics here, right from my iPhone.  But here's one.  Run of the day....heck, my life!

Great report and photo. ;)

Gotta love “runs of your life”

It's hard to see people in such terrible conditions. Just wish there was something we could do to help.
