On Saturday 3/30/19 Robby, Kristi and I left Denver at 5:30am for the Kite Lake Trailhead to climb and ski Mount Bross... aka 'Brahs' for all you Bro's.
Kristi and I had a hankering to ski Bross as we were stormed off of the mountain a week earlier (Escape from DeCaLiBron)
The forecast called for partly cloudy skies until 1:00pm, then it was supposed to snow.
When we left Denver it was snowing heavily and the roads were challenging. Hmmm... were we making the right call?
When we arrived in Alma the visibility was poor over the mountains in Buckskin Gulch. We were a little nervous as we did not want to repeat the prior week's shenanigans.
However once we started skinning the weather cleared up and the day turned out to be perfect.

Booting up Bross' West Ridge was relatively mellow as was the ski down South Bross' West Gully.

The snow on South Bross was significantly softer than that on Bross. Definitely recommended for an easy spring climb and ski

Stoked on our day we headed to the Park Bar in Alma to celebrate another grand day in the mountains.

As an AT newbie, just curious about the avy conditions in this area. Is the snow consolidated now and, therefore, not a concern in Red Amphitheater even with slope angles in the danger zone? Thanks, and look forward to your next report.
