Utah has once again been transported to the Cascades. The day was filled with face shots, and the weather alternated between snow squalls and sunshine. The snowpack consisted of a foot of fluff, on top of a foot of gradually denser snow, on top of the crust. We skied aspects from south to southeast, up to 35 degrees, between 5200 and 3500ft, and found no signs of instability. By the end of day, the sun put a light crust on the snow below 4000ft (it wasn't as cold as forecast). We logged almost 7000ft of vertical, about the most I've ever done in day. We just couldn't stop, it was SO good!
