End of March delivers the goods! On Sat the 27th Nick, Aaron and I snowmobiled in to the end of the Salmon la Sac trail (lots of dirt at the start of the road, it's melting out fast) and started skinning up to the right. The bottom was warm and very crusty, but it cooled as we climbed up and the snow improved. 3000' from the valley floor we reached the top and the powder turns you see here. We took another run on a more sun-exposed slope which had good corn at the top before turning a bit slushy. The last run was down the backside, and by this point in the day the sun was behind some clouds and it cooled quickly. There was a crust on top, but as we descended it turned to more corn before we had to pick our way through the trees back to the sleds.
