Since this last storm, the biggest dust storm I have seen has wreaked havoc on our snowpack. We now have several different layers of dust in between snow storm layers. We will keep a careful eye out to see how this impacts snow stability and melting.

    What an unbelievable chronology of trips! Anything on Hagar Peak near Loveland?

    Hagar is many miles from Crested Butte, but I did ski it once back in 2006. Here’s a link. Let me know if you have any questions!
