Not the greatest day.  The bowls and steeps had holy rollers coming down them on all visible slopes- there is an extremely large army of disembowled snowmen littering the fields.  On-the-other-hand there was no sign of major slabbing, but then there needs to be more snow, hmmm.  I didn't bother digging a pit as I wasn't interested in going any further at this point. Sorry.

Better.  The trees going back to the lift area was untracked, cushioney, and quiet  ;D- but warmed up quickly and was VERRRY SLOWWWWWW by about 1:00, and that under cloud cover.  

Lastly, many tree wells are melting out.  If you want to see just how far you can fall into one, now is a wonderful time to look and remind yourself of the dangers.

That's it.  Enjoy.
