Snowpack

ATL:  We found good stability and dry snow surfaces on northeast aspects, boot top ski pen. There were a few small stiff drifts that we steered away from, given the high-consequence terrain. East aspects were becoming moist and sluffing easier.   NTL:  East and SE aspects were wet and producing rollerballs, pinwheels, and wet loose.  NE aspects were dry to moist.   BTL:  Large rollerballs and pinwheels, with wet loose avalanches involving all the April Fools snow (about 12" to 16").  . Large rollerballs and pinwheels developed by 10:30 a.m, along with wet loose activity.
