At 0930 the snow above Bunny Flat towards Green Butte had already begun to soften, but it was still possible to find areas with a thin breakable crust. Coming down Sun Bowl at 1100, there was about 1 in of spring like snow. We didn't observe  any pinwheels, however when we looked over at Powder Bowl and there was evidence of pinwheeling from previous days.
