Observations

Found mostly excellent riding conditions in Bagley on light, unconsolidated powder. Storm snow seems to be bonding well to the April fools day crust. Triggered a small slide that ran on a layer midway through the new snow.

No signs of significant wind transport. We encounter a single snow surface that felt wind affected. Saw a few loose dry point releases.
