Sunday morning's reports from Pinkham & Tucks listed only 4"-5" of fresh, but it continued snowing all day, and was still coming down (and horizontally) when we descended the Sherburne at 3PM. It looked more like 8"-10" where we took lunch break in the trees near HoJos. <BR> <BR>Last couple weeks, right through yesterday, the snow ranger reports have mentioned bare spots, rocks, & water bars on the Sherburne. Today, it was in great shape. Many skiers and riders had descended earlier in the day than us, but the silver lining to the wind that picked up mid-day was fresh snow blowing in on the skier's left. <BR> <BR>Had a great run today, though who knows what you'll find tomorrow. It may blow in, or may blow off. <BR> <BR>Avalanche danger went from Low to Moderate yesterday, to HIGH across the board today (except Little Headwall was Considerable). While we were up there, we heard that a naturally triggered avalanche had just come down Hillmans (visibility was a couple hundred feet, so we couldn't see it). Although the Sherburne or anything below treeline should be prime tomorrow, check the USFS Snow Ranger reports before veturing any further up, as most everything else will likely remain High avalanche danger for 24-48 hours minimum. <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/1901.jpg" ALT="Facinated by facets">
