After skiing April powder at Alpental the day before, we decided to head to the Tatoosh. The warm weather got the snow before we could. Still a fun day though. We had the whole place to ourselves. Set off two wet snow slides that started out slow, and could easily be avoided. They did pick up speed towards the end and were large enough to cause trouble. The slides were triggered on steep slopes and quickly came to a halt once the slope mellowed out. There was also a lot of debris on most of the steeper slopes from the warm weather over the weekend.
