Classic Spring weather and conditions. The intense solar, greenhousing and warm temperatures from the past two days have taken it's toll on the snow pack and riding conditions. As is typical, the only dry snow dense powder riding can be found on NW, N and NE aspects above 9300 feet on slopes with angles at least 20 degrees and greater. All other aspects had variable conditions with areas of wind crust, ambient and solar m/f crusts, and damp/wet surface snow; and the two inches of dense new snow didn't help all that much on these off aspects. On the aforementioned tight band of shady terrain, the riding was good in dry cake-like dense settled powder.

Of Concern: The warming over the last two days has produced widespread Wet Loose activity that has left dangerous "Clinkers" scattered below all the steep slopes, with the West, South and Southwest the worst.
