Comments

Was this the last day for wintery snow?? Probably, for a while at least.

Great powder skiing on north facing treed slopes. Overall, stable conditions BUT we did see one new small slide near where we were skiing on a 30 degree slope. We wrapped up our turns by 12:30pm as we didn't want to push our luck any later as everything was rapidly warming.

Lots of people out enjoying the beautiful sunny weather.
