couldn't resist the after work trip to paradise today. found some fresh powder in the amount of about 4+. soft at 3pm-530pm but wind packed in the gullies and trees down to 4th crossing. followed edith creek up to golden gate area.

great day- sluffs on the southern exposure already by the time i arrived- snow appeared to be bonded well to the crust that i hit on every hard turn ;)

here's a few pics.
