- <p>Snow was pretty well behaved today. Solar aspects had some loose wet activity, but any wind slabs that have formed seemed to have faceted out some and stablized. The snow below high elevation seems to be getting pretty mushy with the sun and high temps.</p>

- <p>Predictable and manageable but with the strong sun and the high temps this seems to be the only problem.</p>
Snow quality on high protected north was very nice settled cold powder, as you skied into lower angle aprons the snow had some sun on it but skied great later in the day. Observed some wind, temperature and sun crusts on other aspects and elevations, but by the afternoon any skin had come off. Lots of soft manky, sticky snow on mid-elevation slopes and southerly high elevation slopes.
