Toured up to source lake area in the afternoon, up to about 4300’. Still tons of deep tree wells, open creeks etc to contend with on the approach/deproach. Visibility deteriorated greatly by ~2pm and we were skiing in an almost complete whiteout with very occasional sun breaks. At source lake (~3800’ in a flatish open area), we found around 2ft of new snow, mostly right side up ranging from F to 1F above the recent rain crusts. No wind effect observed here. Performed an ECT with no propagation results, but with a shovel I was able to shear off somewhat cohesive slabs from the -2ft crust in an isolated column. We skied down low 30 deg slopes with no signs of instabilities.
