We (one yank and four Canadians) toured across from Fishhook parking lot toward Government and Hatch Peak.

Calm, clear and warm. I love April!
Smooth powder, avalanche debris, avalanche scour, melt-freeze crust, early corn.
Non-solar aspects were smooth nice powder over facets about 40cm down. Upside down and punchy in places. The facet layer never whoomphed, but it was creepy enough that we didn't ski powder over 30 degrees. We skied one solar aspect and found great skiing on sun-softened sastrugi. We skied a long steep shady aspect that had avalanched probably on Sunday, but then filled in some and faceted some from clear skies. The cornice at the top broke off on a 5mm surface hoar layer. Then we lapped the low angle happy hippy powder near the parking lot Mike Wiegele Heli Ski style.
