I attempted Resplendent Mountain with one client and a Practicum March 26 to 
29th.   We did the long approach from the parking lot to Berg Lake.  I May 
consider a helicopter in the future.  We skied all the way to 2600 meters and 
we stopped due to weather moving in and the ceiling dropping down lo.   At 5:00 
a.m when started was a beautiful morning .  The snowpack consisted of anywhere 
from 100 cm at the toe of the glacier to 250-275 cm up higher where we stopped. 
 The skiing quality was excellent (boot top powder).  The temperatures ranged 
from-15C to -3C depending on your elevation and time of day.  I noticed couple 
fractures on solar Aspects that were a few days old, other than that no other 
avalanches.
