Warm spring snow was punchy in some places. We were probably a bit late and the saturated snow was getting pretty soft in the afternoon.

Problem #1 Comments
The wet snow problem will again be an issue in very steep, sunny terrain in the heat of the day. The surface snow should freeze pretty solidly due to radiation heat loss if the sky stays mostly clear as expected, but it'll soften up again in the afternoon and perhaps earlier than it did today.

We found pretty nice spring snow conditions and good stability. The saturated snow in sunny terrain softened up a bit earlier today than yesterday, and it will again probably soften up earlier tomorrow than it did today.
