Riding quality was awesome on all aspect apart from SW ridge top where wind affected snow was present.
15 cm of Fist low density snow on the surface Formation of surface hoar (5-10mm) on north aspect (see picture) - 15 cm Sitting on a sun crust on south aspect - 15 cm Sitting on wind compacted snow (1F) on NE to NW aspect No signs of instability. Sloughing on steeper terrain.
Periods of sun during the day. Sun was very hot when it came out but air was cool enough so no major change in surface snow condition at 2200m elevation on SE aspect.
Multiple dry loose from steep rocky features
