It is April right?!?! We keep pinching ourselves because the riding is really good right now! We saw no signs of instability, apart from a few pinwheels from low elevation sunny spots. A few size 1 dry loose avalanches when the sun first came out, but no slabs. 25 cm of snow in this area since Tuesday over a supportive rain crust from last week. We skied steep north facing slopes away from the sun at treeline and had great riding. Slopes in the sun were getting quite heavy.
