Sunday was beautiful: spring conditions and excellent visibility. Coverage is still great. I was a bit puzzled: it wasn't very crowded. Where was everybody?

I was at a Level 1 avalanche training course this weekend, or I probably would have been there. On Sunday, we were out at Hayrick Butte next to Hoodoo practicing digging snow pits and finding beacons. The weather was beautiful and I noticed the same thing - there were very few people on the mountain ??? I guess that just leaves more corn for the rest of us
