Today was another fine day at the Grand Mesa. Yesterday had the new snow. Today had sun and blue sky. The snow had formed a crust that you could ski anywhere on. You don't sink in and can ski on a half inch of snow sitting on top. Fast and fun.
I stopped at Riverbend Park in Palisade on the way back. Spring with everything greening up.
Grand Mesa got about 1.5 feet of snow in the past 1-4 days. Enough to cover everything up and bring skiing back again. Last night there was another 3-4 inches. I was breaking trail through last nights snow most of the day as almost everyone has given up for the season. I saw two other skiers the whole day.
The weather today: light snow, clouds, sun, 20 mph winds, calm winds. Did I leave anything out? About 20 degrees when I started and about 30 when I left. Snow was very good except a few sticky spots when the sun came out if you were in untracked snow.
Wedding Canyon to Monument Canyon hike. Nice day with temps around 60 in the morning when I went. A number of larger lizards today. Also watched a few climbers near the top of Independence Monument.
