This is actually bad news, if you ride mountains anyways. Unless it continues to snow for the rest of the year from here on out, this storm spells danger. What will happen is this storm snow will most likely sit around for a little while and proceed to rot, and turn into depth hoar. Come january february march, when we have 10+ feet of snow sitting on top of this rotten shit, the mountains will be extremely dangerous. Massive avalanches will occur and people will die. Welcome to Utah!

Anyways, it seems like winter is near and regardless of what happens, im stoked
