April 15
Had to go downtown.
Uh, it was about getting a real job.
Took the camera
since it was the Daweena storm.
April 16
I rode the bus to Alta(runs once a day).
Wind from the east, gusting to around 30 mph...
limited the remaining fresh snow to select aspects.
I was somewhat prepared with a swallowtail snowboard for trail breaking purposes.
Able to get a coupla lines on Tuscarora before exiting to Brighton.
Alta reported a storm total of 34". I was finding settled totals of 12-16".
Snow was dense, capped by wind effect. It was, however, quite stable.
Would expect some isolated active wind drifting and wet activity with significant warming.
Hunt and peck on sheltered north facing.
