Green Rock Area - 4-19-09 from Amber Travsky:
The snow hath fallen! Awesome. The stake measures 62 inches but there is more in drifted areas. The piles of snow in the parking lot (which WAS plowed!) is as high as the roof of the outhouse.
Snow conditions, alas, are distinctly spring-like. I started early with great conditions and went mostly off-trail with a hard crust. Then it got softer and softer and was sticking to my skis pretty badly at times.
Still, the snow was great for touring. Doing turns down an open slope would have been tricky with the snow more like mashed potatoes than powder.

Upper Potholes Trails - 4/13/09 from Andy Bryson:
I skied the Pot Holes Trail on Easter Sunday.
There was a firm base and 1-2" new on top of that and snowing moderately.
Great kick and glide and good coverage (even the lower meadows).
With new snow later this week and cool temps it should be fabulous skiing
this coming weekend.
Lower Highway 130 - no report:
Centennial Ridge - no report
Sand Lake Road -no report
Lower Potholes Trails - no report
Libby Creek Trail - 4-19-09 from Amber Travsky:
The trail has been packed, mostly by snowshoers. It has a good base. There's no HINT even of bare ground or logs/rocks.
