I skied up Powderface Creek to Powderface Ridge today. Great LT conditions below treeline - lots of snow and a narrow packed trail from hikers. Above treeline, not so much! Very thin layer of snow over grass and rocks. As to be expected in a dry December! I initially hoped to traverse the ridge and return to the HWY66 gate on the closed road, but I got tired of carrying my skis over the rocks so I turned around after the northern high point. The ski back down was fast and fun! -30 when I started skiing and a balmy -25 when I returned to the car.
