I skied from the cabin up Old Rainbow Valley Road
to Headquarters trail yesterday. It is unbelievable how much base is
still setting in the open fields in the sun. Although it was wet
and rotten, there was plenty of coverage to keep your bases protected
even when I did break through. I crossed over Barber Lake road
and ventured up to the Libby Creek cabins. Plenty of snow yet on
the road and packed fairly well from the use over the winter. I
skied some shallow pitches above Headquarters on the way back. It
made for some very wet, heavy turns and made getting up from a fall
very challenging in the rotten areas.
