Lots (20 cm) of new snow from the storm of Mar 23/24. It came with NE winds, and the surface was very gently wind affected but still great skiing. 20 cm new was on a soft crust, with denser powder down to a thin firm crust at 62 cm down, and another hard crust at 140. Hs 280 cm.

Some size 1 natural releases of the storm snow where it was wind loaded. Interesting loading from two directions (see photo).

Small natural releases from the Tuesday night/Wednesday storm.

Criss cross wind loading, with vertical drifts from SW winds overprinted by drifts from NE winds.
