Medicine Bow Nordic Ski Patrol
Patrol Log:  Sunday, March 9, 2008:  R. Howell and J. Pohl

On Sunday March 9 Bob Howell and Joe Pohl, and Joe's friend John Paul, skied the Barber Lake Trail from Green Rock Picnic Ground to the Centennial Visitor Center.  The weather was sunny and calm with a temperature in the 30's.  There were 47 inches of snow at the snow stake at the start of the trail.  Conditions were very nice with about 4 inches of relatively fresh powder at the top of the trail, decreasing to about 1 inch of powder near the bottom.  It did however look like the snow under the powder was relatively packed and icy.  We didn't meet anyone on the main part of the trail -- but a several people were setting out from Green Rock as we got ready.

The car counts were as follows.
