It was cool and clear and very springtime beautiful in Sun Valley this morning. Bald Mountain skiing is excellent and will continue to be so through Sunday when the season ends. The grooming crew has done its usual superb job and finding good skiing is only a matter of following the corn as it softens. The best skiing I found this morning was Christmas Bowl, Roundhouse Slope, Mid River, Canyon, Flying Squirrel and Lower Warm Springs. All of them were really good.
Backcountry avalanche danger is rated LOW as the snowpack freezes each night. As on Baldy, finding good skiing is a matter of paying attention to elevation, aspect and time of day. Early in the day will be hard. There was no Nordic grooming last night but they will try to groom tonight for the weekend.
This will be the last Dorworth report for the 2011-2012 season. Thanks for reading. I hope we'll all be back next season.
