- <p>The sun popped out for a few minutes in the early afternoon and I could feel the fresh snow get sticky almost instantly. Needed to stop for skin wax... </p>
The sun popped out for just a few minutes in the early afternoon, but the clouds and cool temperatures kept the new snow pretty nice in most places. The new snow was bonded pretty well to the solid melt-freeze crust from last week's warm weather. I found moist faceted snow near the ground, but the refrozen snow above it was very hard and supportable.

- <p>The snow stayed pretty dry in most places, but more sun tomorrow will quickly cause loose wet avalanches or sluffs entraining a few inches of new snow.</p>
Nice shallow powder and soft dust-on-crust conditions. Lower angled slopes smooth slopes offered "hero" snow conditions
