Date of Observation: 04/05/2023
Name: Travis Colbert
Zone: Southeast Mountains
Route Description: Washington Gulch TH; W & E sides of Snodgrass; 9,400-11,000 ft mostly SW & NE aspects.
Observed avalanche activity: No
Snowpack: Fresh dust on a red, dusty crust; with the first dust mentioned quickly turning to mush. Tomorrow I must venture to Saleeda to tread lightly on red, dusty dust.
This riddle, or is it a poem, was inspired by all the bad (good) riddles of Ted Lasso (I have been binge watching) and to a lesser degree by yesterday’s historic indictment of our illustrious/notorious (depending on your persuasion) Donald J Trump :)
OK, for real, sunny aspects were supportive to skis (dust on crust as described above), while the more northerly aspects were dry & soft.
