33 degrees at 7:30am at 2500ft. 37 degrees at 12:15am at 2500ft. We stuck to northern aspects but southern aspects looked fun as well. Skied from ~4000ft car at ~2500ft. Average of 90cm of saturated snow at 4000ft. Boot penetration to at least cuff. Ski penetration about 15cm with 112mm skis. The heavy saturated snow made for surfy spring-like turns.
