| FR 16 continues to left, 14 due south |
Comments: good cold temp conditioning run. drove, then skied in tracks. hey, it's grant county. sno is a little deep at this elevation to break trail. a base is forming and may be able to break trail later.
lovely with sun out, clouds turned it quite cold. an occasional, short breeze dropped 10° quickly.
