2/21 Granite Mtn.

(oops...added this one to the "non-backcountry posts" accidentally.  Sorry about that)

Strong winds but very clear sky.  Everything above about 4,500 was hard as a rock.  We then enjoyed rather nice corn for about 300 feet before hitting mashed potatoes.
Did anyone experience anything different than this scenario yesterday?

Of note: for the lower half of the ski we followed the main slide path over the waterfall and out to the road.  The area below the falls looked like a blast zone.  Many trees laid out like toothpicks.  Trees that were still standing had branches broken 40+ feet up their trunks.  Very impressive!
