Observation: Hatcher Pass
Location: April Bowl/Pass Road
Climbed up the road a bit then split lookers left across the gully and up onto the low benches below April Bowl. Stopped and dug a pit on the highest of these. Turned around there. Lots of soft, new snow made for very nice low angle turns. Lots of big wumphing throughout the climb even on low angle.
Obvious signs of instability
