Travel from Porter fork to Main Gobblers. Cold temps and preserved snow on northerlies, warming southerlies with solar effect. Forecast NW winds were very mild, 5 mph estimated. No wind transport observed. Several steep lines skied and observed without apparent instabilities aside from small areas of dry loose coming off of steep SE facing Raymond chutes.

- <p>Solar warming on S and SW aspects around 2p with damp surface structure permitting rollerballs. No natural wet loose observed. Will be crusted tomorrow. </p> <p>Evidence of wind drifting at mid elevations W->E on South facing terrain, as well as winds up-canyon from Millcreek loading onto S aspect near Gobbler's crest. No cracking or snow movement jumping on small wind pillows. Seems to be a healing issue that is likely to be most reactive over southerly crusts with crossloaded pockets. </p>
