Skied Marriott Basin April 2nd - 3rd. Saturday had approx. 10 cm of new snow on top of a moderate crust. Skied SE facing glades, crust was noticeable but still fun skiing. Sun and cloud for most of the day, snow started around 15:00. Woke up to approx. 25 cm of new snow on Sunday. Overnight storm snow did not bond well to crust on steeper slopes. Had great turns on lower angle E facing slopes at and slightly above tree line. Snowfall rate appeared to increase throughout the day. Still snowing when we got to the parking lot at 14:00.
