We found good riding conditions in nice soft recrystallized surface snow.

Many areas had beautiful 2d frost feathers or surface hoar on the snow surface.

A layer of fist-hard faceted snow or depth hoar exists a the base of the shallow snowpack, but a couple solid crusts appear to be holding things together pretty well for now.

Snowpack

Nice fast and smooth settled powder (recrystallized snow) and surface hoar.  Soft on the surface but 2-4-16 rain-crust supported our weight and kept us from sinking into weak underlying facets, and despite the shallow snow, we did not hit many rocks.
