Comments: lovely march skiing. up until last 30 mins. felt like a return to winter conditions. 20- 40mph wind kept temp cold above trees & along ridgeline. great powder at higher elev. a little moist at huddleston.
climb was pretty easy with powder, as was descent.
FR 548 no groom, no tracks, pristine & perfect powder on solid base. took off trail along ridge east near kooney spring to explore a shortcut down to 433/435. decided to backtrack.
finding a windbreak for lunch :
