Observations

The temperature and freezing level rose quicker than forecasted. Light mist in the morning from 3000-4500ft. Noticeable change in snow density and quality above 4500ft on aspects that had received sun on Saturday.
No avalanche activity was observed (visibility was pretty poor NTL/ATL).
Warming throughout the day made the snow thicker and more consolidated, but riding was still really fun! We observed small roller balls and pin wheels.
