Leaving the car on a personal tour just after sunset to catch the full moon, skies were crystal clear and winds were dead calm. This continued for the duration of my tour. Temperature were below freezing for the duration as well.
Snowpack
Traveling from the car, I found 5-7cm of HN and soft surfaces down low. As we climbed into more wind-sheltered areas, HN increased up to 10cm. I didn't find a particularly strong slab structure on top of the weaker snow. This made for the HN to blend into the softer, weaker snow below under our feet as we traveled downhill. At ridgeline, there was only minimal wind effect, but enough to change the texture of some surfaces.
