Wow... yesterday's drenching valley rain translated to a nice shot o' snow for the eastern front. The North Slope stacked up 10"-12" of medium snow, whilst the south half of the range received half that amount. The big winner though is terrain on the east side of the range, right around Lily Lake which clocks in closer to 16" of new snow. Under mostly cloudy skies, temperatures are in the teens and low 30's. Unfortunately, north and northeast winds bumped into the 30's last night and I bet some of our big open bowls are a bit wind damaged. The good news is you can lose a little elevation, tuck into wind sheltered terrain and on a go-anywhere base, you'll be rewarded with amazing spring riding conditions.

The new snow was very sensitive by days end yesterday with avalanches predictably failing within the new storm snow, but breaking wider than you might expect and packing a bit of heat.
