Great skiing in and around Steamboat this weekend!! Coverage still thin, but improving.
The upper snowpack was reactive and we intentionally trigger several soft slabs that failed at the storm snow interface (6-8"). Snowpit on WNW aspect below treeline @9,200ft revealed easy shears in the storm snow, a graupel layer burried 18" from the surface, ECTN results, and HS 180-190cm.
Snow quality overall was excellent.
A little thinner snowpack down low, but still some good skiing to be had.
