Bluebird!... Visibility for miles and miles, light and fluffy up top, heavy soft pack below the tree line.   High winds, rising temps, and fresh 8-12 inches last night made the Avalanche Danger level 4.  Access to upper territories didn't happen till 1:30-2pm after artillery bombing complete.  Great way to finish the day awesome treat for our trip to Barlioche in early spring!
