Some sun, but not too much heat.

<p>Today in Window Mountain bowl we found some pretty decent April skiing on a north aspect. We toured up a ridge where we had good observations of both south and north-facing slopes. The south slopes were getting moist and the temperature at 2300m was hovering around 0 degrees. With some wind and clouds and the last few nights of a good overnight refreeze the heat wasn't impacting the upper snowpack as much as anticipated by the forecasted high temperatures. We did see one size 1 avalanche out of steep, rocky terrain and some rollerballs during the afternoon but did leave the field at 2:30. The north-facing slope that we skied was pretty decent with some good cream cheese, but not enough to open it up as you could still hit the crust below. </p>
