<p>Winds and warmth/sun did not seem to get out of hand for any excessive wind loading or wet avalanching.</p>

Idle weather does the devil's work. Note surface hoar crystals adorning the snow angel.

More RR crust on southerlies noted today. Photo of facets below.

Diurnally recrystallized facets noted on northerlies but seemed only 'moderately' weak.

I expect warmth and wind to destroy and/or decay many of these surface weaknesses ahead of the next storm.
