Annual guys trip.
Just missed a big storm cycle that had 26+ inches. Skied mostly Shlasmans lift with one ridge hike. Fairly warm compared to recent weeks with temps right on the edge of putting a tiny bit of melt on the surface of the S facing parts, but lots of leftovers and very soft on all other aspects (the main exposure is east, bit with plenty of bowls it ranges fro SE to NE).
Very nice terrain, but have to be careful at all times to not get cliffed out and despite a very robust snowpack, still plenty of rocks to see and avoid in spots . I'd hate to see it in a low snow year.
As it was, very nice day of skiing. More Bridger tomorrow when the rest of the gang will have arrived in addition the the 3 experts skiing with avi gear today.
