<p>Widespread surface hoar on the surface up to lower alpine elevations (approx 2300 m), typical size was 8-10 mm. Upper alpine surfaces were faceted with surprisingly little wind affect. All elevations had about 5-10 cm of soft snow on crusts (below 2000m) and settled storm snow (above).
Witnessed some small loose avalanches running below south-facing cliffs in the morning sun, otherwise no recent avalanches. </p>
