Quick report

Cracking
isolated

Noted some ability to kick off shallow drifts along the upper portion of the route on SE aspect of the ridge where light wind loading was occurring under a NW wind approximately 5-15mph. These were fresh drifts that fractured only a few inches deep, but did crack out in chunks, sliding just a few inches when a kicking force was applied along steeper edges. Poked on NW side of the ridge and snow was firm from wind. Descent down Broadway was a mix of dry and wet powder approximately 4-8” deep, with best/drier snow in shade. Clear ice coating on snow pack around some trees, mainly lower half of route.
