Inspired by clear skies in Seattle and on Snoqualmie webcams, we headed east for the first good skiable tour. Ended up in Alpental upper lot at 830AM watching half a dozen folks gear up for Folklife ahead of us. Nice to follow their tracks in good corn conditions, 2" slush atop a firm base. Weather was great, creep cracks are opening here and there. We watched the Mon-ster and her companions work through some tricky snow free terrain for Kaleetan Peak. Snow on the tour around Chair Peak was generally good early season "corn". There was some stickiness on warmed slopes, and lots of avalanched snow to avoid.
