      We don't prepare for serious snow because we hardly get any. It would cost millions to maintain the kit that we just may need in the future.

      Visual with an eye towards imaging. A feature of the Quark is supposed to be minimal sweets spots, but this one shows it easily and lots. It does provide fantastic views in the on band sections. I used it for 5 hrs today on and off, I love Ha that's for sure.
