Quick report

There was a bit less snow at Trimmer than I had hoped, but still enough for enjoyable riding and skinning. Near our high point of ~9100' there was evidence of wind affected snow but jumping on several undercut test slopes didn't produce much beyond minor cracking. We felt a light breeze at this highest point but didn't observe snow being moved by the wind. Settlement cones were visible near the base of multiple trees. Partially covered trees and rocks still present a bit of a challenge when riding but are avoidable. Near the base of the slide paths the rocks/stumps are more pronounced and there was widespread impressive surface hoar (~7700 - 7900). The creek in this area is covered but likely still contributing to the surface hoar growth. Exiting at the bottom of the bonus hill is sporty but doable.
