April showers bring May powder. Skiied the spine, decker glacier, and DOA. Snow was relatively good, 10cm-15cm of snow & grouple on a variable crust underneath.

Snowpack

10-15cm of storm snow on graupel. Snow was not consolidated but was readily sliding on graupel/crust interface.

Avalanche

We let go a small 0.5 slide while ski cutting the top of the spine/windlip. Slid on the leeward side of the windlip.
