Quick report
This side of the mountain below crater rock is very wind affected. Most pockets of wind-drifted snow appear to be healing up with minimal signs of instibility. Afternoon warming resulted in a few rollerballs in Salmon River Canyon.

Snowpack
Below 7000 ft: The upper snowpack was crusted over during the morning hours and was in the beginning stages of a melt-freeze cycle. The crust broke down by mid morning.
Above 7000 ft: The snowpack remains dry and very wind-affected. Consistent smooth snow was hard to come by on the Triangle Moraine. Moderate east wind drifted available snow throughout my tour. However, I found minimal signs of reactivty within the firm 1F hard pockets of wind drifted snow.I observed plenty of slope testers out skiing bigger terrain features with no observed activity.
