Quick report

Weather
cloudy
Riding Quality
terrible
Snow Conditions
hard, crusty

We walked into the bowl this morning. Access from the parking lot is no longer skiable. Once into the bottom of the bowl, still good overall coverage that should hold up for sometime yet. Icy/crusty surface conditions had us wearing crampons while ascending the east shoulder. 2-4 cm of new snow sitting on surface with no signs of wind effect, and good bonding to the crust below. Was snowing when we left just after noon, light winds from the east. No avalanche problems up there today. Great to see that the bowl should provide some good spring skiing!

I did not observe this avalanche, just noticed it this morning. Occurred sometime since yesterdays strong winds and new snow. A good sign of instability on these features.
