I arrived at the Green Rock trail head about 10:30 and met up with
three other skiers.  The skies were overcast with strong winds.
The temperature was in the low to mid 30s during the course of
the day. We skied up Sally Creek to Skinny Dip Meadows and dug
a snow pit.  We then made several runs on the hill.  We then
bushwacked south to Swastika Lake and caught some runs on a
hill west of the Lake.  We then bushwacked south to Libby Creek
and skied the Women�s Downhill and followed the lower Libby Creek
Trail back to the Green Rock trail head.  The snow stake on the
upper Barber Lake trail registered 42 inches of snow.

I dug a snow pit at the bottom of Skinny Dip Meadow (NE, SW, SE
of Section 14, T16N, R79W).  The orientation of the slope was due
south.  From the surface down the first 15cm consisted of
unconsolidated new snow.  Next there was 2cm layer of sun crust.
Beneath the crust there was a 14cm layer of highly faceted large
crystals (>4mm) that were frozen together into a solid block.
Beneath this block there was a 3cm layer of sun crust.  The next
14cm layer was a two finger slab.  Beneath this slab was a 6cm
layer of fist snow.  The next 30cm layer was a 2 finger slab.
The bottom 60cm of snow consisted of moderately faceted snow
(about 2mm) that was extremely wet and clumping together.  

I conducted a shovel shear test.  The snow pack failed at the
6cm layer of fist snow and at the bottom layer of moderately
faceted snow.  My personal evaluation is that the snow pack
is fairly stable.

At 13:00 there were no vehicles at the bottom of the Barber
Lake Road, two vehicles at the Corner Mountain trail head,
eight vehicles at the Little Laramie trail head, and about
138 vehicles at the Green Rock trail head.  The snow gauge
at the beginning of the upper Barber Lake loop registered
42 inches of snow. During the course of the day I encountered
approximately five skiers.
