Comments
Went and rode a little bit in silver fork near brads line. Not much wind and no major red flags at the surface, about 4-5 inches of new snow. I was mainly interested in the snow depth in BCC to what we are seeing in LCC. Snow depth at 9,100' was 135 cm. I didn't dig down to see the PWL but am still tip toeing around. I think we are headed in the right direction though but not ready to fully trust it yet.
