As of today, the central Skyline has a total of 2 to 3 feet of snow on the ground. When I was out checking it on Tuesday, I found that it is very low density and unconsolidated with absolutely no base. Travel was very difficult as my skis sank all the way through the snow to the ground. This will change as the snowpack settles and consolidates. For now, traveling around the backcountry involves blindly stumbling through the knee deep snow as you bump into all the hidden treasures of rocks and logs under the snow. Not ideal. I'd wait until venturing out.
