Observations

Cool, calm morning quickly warmed up by noon with the April sun.

Continuous snow ~3000, significant (1-2’) fresh dry powder that became extremely challenging to ski during descent after 2pm below 5000.

Roller balls and pinwheels just starting to develop on southerly aspects around 3pm, wet slides would be a problem if I was staying out later.

Generally right side up snowpack, no recent avalanches observed at all.
