Slide @ Slide
Brad L. & I noticed an ugly-looking fracture after skiing Rose this morning on the south side of the East Bowl access road just before it enters the parking lot. We thought we’d take a look to see whether the snow cover has improved at the lower elevations and saw the obvious results of... »
