Tom goes retro with his old telemark setup. All his skis were in the shop getting tuned for the season. Tom invited his friend Pete and the 3 of us hiked toward Twin Lakes Pass. Tom stopped a couple of times along the way to dig a snow trench and test the snow. There were 3 distinct layers. They had all bonded nicely. Then yesterday it blew like crazy so there was some additional snow on top in some spots that had not bonded. Snow depth was about 3 feet on the north aspect and about 2 and a half on the south aspect. It was a pretty safe day to be in the backcountry.
Me at the top of the ridge near the Honeycomb Cliffs. Little Cottonwood Canyon in the backgound.
We got some nice turns in through the tree. The snow was deepest in the gullies.
