trimmer peak powder

Toured up Trimmer Peak, rode the skiier's right Elevens, toured back up to the saddle and took the bonus lap.

the first 300-400ft the snow is terrible ice but at about 7,000 feet or so it became crisp powder. even in the open skiier's right Eleven, the powder had no cracking, no variability, no obvious windslabs. same on the bonus lap, the powder was consistent, cold, and crisp. no rollerballs, no big sluffs.

we did notice some graupel on the saddle and on the shoulders of the hills (picture included). i admit i dont know what its called when there's a kind of spread-out blanket of graupel, but it is something worth knowing about with the refresh coming next week.
