May 8, Alpental

Despite Washington reopening outdoor recreation the National Forest seems to be on their own timeline.  It's okay to go golfing but not skiing.   Unfortunately, forced to break the rules, I rode my dirt bike over to Alpental and slid behind the fencing.  Slopes were in great shape with minimal tracks after the last snowfall.  Plenty of snow from top to bottom.  Ventured out into North facing sidecountry for firmer turns.
