Best spring conditions you can hope for up there

It’s the best of both worlds up there with ≈15cm of dry powder on polar aspects and a proper melt-freeze cycle that produces great dust on crust and corn snow on any other aspects. Snow was excellent to valley bottom today. I skied S/SE yesterday (up to 2000m+ elev.) and N as well as E/SE today (up to 1520m). Wx was in and out, but clearings were big enough to wait out a couple minutes and ski in beautiful light. Cloud cover was enough to keep the snow in great condition from top to bottom. There are lots of glide cracks appearing where slabs exists, some of them are very large. We managed to cut big chunks of cornices at 2000m into a couloir filled with lots of snow, the weight didn’t trigger anything other than sluff in the feature we skied.
