Snow:  6" fresh powder over small base. perfect

Skis on:  10am  20°, sunny, no wind

Suggestions:  10 on a scale of 10. a group of 3 hunters had driven up the 994 road, only way i could ski up.  they came back a little later as i was coming down, stopped, asked: is it ok with you if we hunt along this road?

i love this place
