Sunny spring ski slalom

<p>Spring sunshine had us curious how the snow was responding to the recent warmth. We layered on the sunscreen and rode up to Bell. On sunny, south facing, slopes we found a 3cm crust all the way to the alp that made for good skiing while it was supportive. Once it started to melt we moved to shady aspects that wouldn't become hazardous with the afternoon heat. At ridge top it was a calm and balmy zero degrees.</p>
