Weather

Warmest morning temps of the spring- no sites reporting temps below 32F at this end of the zone. Occasional clouds with calm winds.

Snowpack

Despite the above freezing morning temps, clear skies overnight and early this morning produced a decent freeze with surface conditions that held up remarkably well. Descended at noon. Start early, follow the sun, and work the aspects to find the best riding.

Avalanche

Most observed avalanche activity occurred during the past weekend. Recent activity was small (<D2) and very isolated.
