Tramway Powder Skiing 4/14/2012

I took a few friends for some laps on Saturday 4/14. The snow was great, a little on the dense side but still powder. I'm glad we got this last little gift, cuz here comes summer.

SD, those are some great shots - how deep was the snow on the trek up?

Trying to get some beta to Bob Huey who's planning to do C2C on Sat.

Thanks

Thanks!
Most of the approach only had a foot of snow, and I saw first hand that it was bare dirt the week before. Starting about half way to the peaks there was old snow under the new stuff and I think it maxed out at around a 3' snow pack in the deepest places.
