Dude... it's 6-8 inches of snow on no base, and I'm by myself. I'm not going to be trying to arc GS turns at full speed. Also, you have to try to float you turns, not edge, or else you'll be hitting ground.

sweet - what was the snow consistency/quality? Was it heavy? high moisture? did it vary by altitude?

Pretty dense. Definitely not powder, but not that wet either. So it was pretty good snow for having no base underneath.

The elevation variation was weird. There was only about an a dusting to 2 inches up to around 2,500. Then instantly there was 6-8, and it stayed the same from 2,800 to 4,100 ft. My guess is the first squall moved in and there was a definite 32 degree line that caused such a sharp cut off. The dusting to 2 inches was probably caused by the second little wave of snow.
