Flattop Mountain
While the lower valleys are all free of snow, up in the mountains winter still prevails. As I was skiing here the snow was coming down hard and sideways due to the high winds. The conditions were almost blizzard-like. Once I was above tree line it was hard to see anything but white in every direction. About 4-5" of fresh fluffy powder covered the mountain.
