Warm wet day following the pretty recent snow dump, had a localized whump on the up track, and found a small skier triggered avalanche, likely from yesterday. Wind effect at higher elevations, to beautiful powder, and wet heavy melting snow near the bottom. Avoided and/or cut the top of convexities prior to skiing under them with no results. Just about spring t shirt skiing!
