S1 snowfall with moderate wind out of the NE when leaving the parking lot. Snow tapered off to S-1 with light winds and broken skies by the time I was back at the parking lot at 1445.

A few hand shears on the ascent produced moderate results and no signs of widespread storm slab. Stomped on a few test slopes without result.
