Fling Into Spring

We found some decent skiing and powder at upper elevations near the Farm today. The snow surface was pretty crusty up to around 1000m but it got better quickly above that with 10-15cm of new snow from yesterday. It was a warm day and the sun had some kick to it. We set off a few small wet loose slides during our ski down on steep sunny slopes. We saw one larger (size 2) wind slab on a east facing slope in the alpine that appeared to have come down yesterday. There were also a couple of cornices that had broken off recently but hadn't triggered any slabs on their way down.
