Great stuff in the Marble area. Some wind effect and variable in spots but you could pick your lines for a ton of fresh pow. Great day with a little snow and a little sun poking through the clouds now and then.

Whats the deal with the road this year? Are they plowing it?

The road is open for now. The quarry has changed owners and they've been plowing the road. Speculation, based on marble supplies at the bottom of the road, is that the quarry may stay open throughout the winter and hence, the road will stay plowed. We shall see.

Also, snowpack was pretty good although we did find some scary sugars about 18" deep on a westerly aspect that broke pretty clean and smooth.
