After Tuesday's tour we got our final wave of the storm cycle. It was colder and put down an inch plus here in Ely. Yesterday dawned bright and cold, so I decided to head up to the same zone to see if conditions had improved there.
Skiers heaven. So many attractive runs.
I ended up doing two runs on this face.
Sure looks different without a low cloud deck. Found 3" to 5" of new, light snow.
Once to the ridge I could see the access road heading up to the communication towers on top of the peaks.
Rime highway.
Views to the southeast including the huge Robinson Project copper mine (left) and Ward Mountain (right).
The bottom section of the face. Total ego snow!
Had to head up for another.
It turned out a pair of snowcats had gone up to do some maintenance on the communication equipment.
Fantastic rime up high.
The second run was even better than the first. This is the upper part of the face.
Danged fun! Like a dream.
