went up yesterday with a friend who's in town for a few days. the weather once again let me down. the snow forecasted on friday never came; instead we got some rain right before the temperature plumetted, creating a slick layer of ice in the valley. the sub-alpine conditions were extremely hardpack with a slight layer of sugar snow on top. upper mountain was very cold and blustery.
today it snowed lightly most of the day - 8cm by 4pm. i think tomorrow will actually be pretty decent, at least in the morning.
