East facing seemed to fall on dirt, but as we moved more NE through N, and into more sheltered areas old faceted snow 5"-6" deep capped by 10" of newer settled snow from last storms. E through NE had ski tracks from yesterday? and was supportable, fast, and heating up in direct sun. As we moved more into due N and more sheltered areas, it was much punchier and weaker, not gaining strength as fast. Localized small collasping but no big whomphs, but we were in pretty tame terrain. Lots things to hit yet, just not enough snow to let your guard down. Also noted tracks in Big Meadow over by Miller Flats.
