<p>No obvious signs of instability. Just firm riding conditions even on sun-exposed slopes. </p>

Overall decent spring riding conditions. Supportable almost "corn" snow - good for the dog. Cool nw/w breeze kept it from getting too damp. If the temps soar again it'll be interesting to see if the PWL reactivates.

Snowpack

Surface was started to get damp around noon on E facing and 1:45 on W facing. Cool NW - W breeze. Overall snowpack is freezing up with colder overnight temps. Facets are moist but protected under thick MF crust. Almost an ECTP at top of facet layer.
