Making the best of challenging snow conditions las Making the best of challenging snow conditions last weekend in the San Juans. It’s always better to be skiing than not, right? ⛷ It’s disappointing to have the spring season trashed by airborne dust and dirt though. 👎 Experts say the continuing drought in the American West is all but ensuring this spring phenomenon will happen with increasing frequency— and even earlier in the season— in the years ahead. 👎 Let’s hope those forecasts are wrong. The spring backcountry season is already short enough. 📷 @aspenchristy
