E. Side of Skyline Peak

No visible signs of instability. HS=126cm, about 10" of new snow, fell right side up. From ground up, first 20cm is fist hardness, with rounding facets. Then 1 F hardness up to a pencil hard .5cm crust @ 85cm. Thin layer of facets below and above the crust. Then 1F to fist hardness at the surface. No stability tests performed. Single digits to mid teens, with little to no wind. Stayed on slopes less than 30 degrees. Seems this week's warmer weather and occasional light snowfall accumulations have have led to a strengthening snowpack. Still playing it safe and avoiding avalanche terrain for a while.
