Quick report
Today, we saw about a foot of new snow and blowing winds on the ridges. Our snow pit on an east facing slope didn't show concerning signs of instability. On northernly aspects burried surfacehoar layers were present, but in the areas we observed, the snow hasn't formed a slab on top. This might be different in areas that are affected by the wind.

Groups in other locations had more prominent layers of burried surface hoar or facets above the basal crust.
