New snow along GTSR

Update from GTSR Avalanche Forecasting Program:

- Spring mixed bag of weather today with up to S2 snowfall and a variety of sky conditions

- Temps stayed below freezing all day with constant light SW winds

-  The weekend storm laid ~10cm of new snow at 6k' that was well bonded to the damp old snow surface below it

- Observed no new avalanches today, but did observe one fresh natural avalanche from this weekend in 54-3 (D1.5 - unsure of start zone)

- Brief solar input around 13:00 triggers widespread small rollerballs in the surface snow

- Quick pit at 6300' - SW aspect - 27 deg slope - at 13:00 - HS 270cm

• ECTN15@225 on 4/9 pre-weekend-storm surface melt-freeze crust
• ECTP22@210 on a distinct hardness change from 4F+ large-grained polycrystals to P melt-freeze crust
• Noticed refrozen but distinct water pooling above crusts at 210cm and 185cm that could become hazardous in the future.

Certainly felt a whole lot more like winter out there today than it did last week!
