Awesome! This video is from yesterday. Exposed one rock while riding, no damage. Most areas have good coverage.

Was thinking of going up to RE or Buff pass tomorrow? Everyone else has to work

Trying to get these panels to stay on my pro first. if I can get them mounted I'd be game to meet up there. Just having a hell of a time to get these effers to stay on and the stupid little screws to go in.

. I fly out tomorrow night for the rest of the week.My dad and I will be heading up to rabbit ears early tomorrow morning from boulder but we only have a two place trailer. If you want to meet up there were always open to ride with someone.
I will be hitting RE around 9 and should be in the MC lot by about 9:30 or so. Will be myself and a buddy, for sure down to ride. Ill be in a big blue ford diesel.

Conditions at Buff are great right now. All that fresh snow set up well and as of yesterday is really 'creamy'. Lots of float on the skis, super easy to thread it through the woods and set a sidehill, but trenched fairly easy. Couldn't make it up some pitches that I can normally do just fine. Was easy to get stuck. 
We dug a pit, north facing at roughly 45 degrees and despite having those persistent weak layers, it was surprisingly stable. After jumping on it, we actually had to cut the rutschblock in the back and pry on it to get that top slab to shear. It was roughly 2 ft of dense snow in that slab though, so if you set off a slab slide, its going to be big and dangerous. Lots of sluff slides, but otherwise no noted instability in the snowpack throughout the day. Be safe and have fun!
