- <p>Heavy dense snowfall overnight plus strong winds. Didn't see any natural activity but visibility was limited. At lower elevations the snowpack is saturated and very sensitive to weight (ECTP10, 6900', NE). </p>
Overall spring riding conditions with damp heavy snow blanketing the range. There is still excellent coverage at TH and along access road.

- Instability Comment
- <p>Strong winds and snowfall have created wind drifted snow on steep slopes. Had limited visibility today - did not observe natural activity but the heavy density of the new snow combined with a riders weight may be enough to trigger an avalanche on lee slopes. </p> <p>Lower elevations are saturated and unconsolidated. Stability tests showed new snow easily propagating.</p>
Damp inverted new snow. Decent riding conditions, skis out of the question.
