Ice layers forming in island park
We rode teepee sat morning. Pretty good snow but relatively baseless. Broke an arm so fixed and went up blue creek on the west side of IP down Yale Kilgore road.
we went in about 3pm so it was warm and super dense fog up high towards reas peak.
rode several draws southwest of the peak prolly about 8000 but could be wrong.
as we got to the open areas it was already super trenched out and setting up fast forming a nasty ice layer that was everywhere. Open areas, in tight trees etc.
it was setting up but also warm so kind of turning to corn snow but the ice layer was so thick and rigid it was audible over the sound of the sleds. If you stuck a leg in it wouod grab your leg etc and it was everywhere we rode.
rode until dark then rode out. Seemed to be getting worse the later it got.
heard from others that they experienced similar conditions in big springs.
hope this is helpful :) pin is approximate
