Amar,
I completely agree with your analysis of the snow consistancy yesterday. I headed to Alpy after work for a short workout and found mush (and no new snow) in the parking lot, but 8-12" around the corner in Upper International, but just on very localized aspects (better on NE side of the moguls). You could get one good turn, then 2 turns on rock hard muce (muchy ice?), then another cascade cement pow turn.
Very dense snow, but any snow in late April should be celebrated. Cheers to getting out there.

thats pretty incredible. and who says the weatherman is always wrong. here in the Sierra, I hear the stories of the "over-night pow" in Utah. typically - March
