Thank You Mr. President | Elk Mountains Backcountry, Colorado, CO United States | 02/21/08, by gripnrip
With the recent return of the sun to Colorado, we celebrated
Presidents' Day by heading up into the high country to see how the
snowpack has been stabilizing. After the two month storm that was
December and January, we seem to back to a more regular pattern of
storms followed by a couple days of sunshine. The area we hit up had an
incredibly solid midpack, over ten feet deep in places. The top layer
was fairly well bonded, enough so that we were able to enjoy some great
turns on terrain that's usually a little scary mid-winter. With the
warmer temps, spring is in the air and we're looking forward to getting
out on some big peaks soon.

That's Our Opinion. What's Yours?
