Skied Mount Jimmy Simpson: 10-30cm of soft(F) new snow sits over the March 20th crust. This new snow became moist on solar aspects up to 2750m by 13:00, with some roller balling observed. Winds calm to ridgetop, with light W winds and some wind effect on the summit, no evidence of windslab. We saw evidence of wet loose and wet slab avalanches from the past week up to size 2 on solar aspects, but no new avalanches from today.
