Ive experienced some pretty awful conditions in the west. Most notably the 09-10 season in Colorado and the 14-15 season in Tahoe along with the usual off weeks or even months that come between. It happens....ice, golf ball, WROD and melt refreeze. It just happens much less than say NH and often not quite as extreme on the ice/rocks/ect.....
Spring out there is usually soft snow and sun or its dumping. If for some reason it comes in cold and dry after a warm period....and sometimes it does in April, it can get downright icy. You really have to follow either the sun and warmth by perhaps skiing the low areas or go looking for chalky snow up high. As long as you keep things flexible then its usually all good
Dlauge I had a season like your having in 07-08 and god was it good. I didn't work till mid may and got 130+ days in. That was easily the highlight of my skiing years so far.
