Spring skiing conditions on Friday. Cloudy in the early morning, but clouds thinned around 10:30 and the south-facing backside started to cook. It was well-done mush by noon. In the afternoon, the sun came out and it warmed up more. Even the north-facing stuff got soft. There was about 2" of new, heavy snow on the mountain, and it sloughed easily on steep terrain. <br><br>According to a friend, the 6" reported was fully accurate and it was a good day up there today (sat). I'm not sure how crusty things are underneath on the north faces, but it's entirely possible that it won't be that hard underneath. <br><br>See ya in the BC tomorrow. ;D
