Quick report
We found stable snow in the low and mid elevations. Hasty pits yielded medium to hard hand shears and about 30-40cm of total snow from this storm. The usual tricks with hands and poles showed the top 5cm or so might be susceptible to dry loose avalanches. Stomping and test slopes showed occasional and limited cracking just at the skies, breaking stubbornly about 15cm down. A small handful of careful ski cuts gave no results other than some sluffing.
Feeling encouraged by seemingly good bonding at the storm interface and lack of significant results within the new snow, we cautiously stepped out with each lap. Broaching a bit steeper as we went, we were rewarded with soft turns.
Can't comment on upper elevations as we couldn't see them from a distance due to fog/clouds, and had no motivation to travel there since we had plenty of seemingly stable snow already.
First photo is probably the highest visibility moment of the day.
Second photo is some direct testing of the surface snow conditons ;)
Snowpack
Picked up perhaps 2 final inches of snow this morning from the storm beginning 14 January, and another inch or two when the snow turned back on around 11am.
