Quick report

Cracking
isolated

Obs are from maybe 10 days out over the last 14ish. Trails are buffed out due to few snowmobilers riding conservstively (no braaap woops for now). Deep enough in spots to lay over a sled or lay down some nice turns with the sticks. Shorrty after the last storm (about two weeks ago?) we got isolated sluffs almost two ground to move on steep, windloaded NNW slopes around 9k'. A couple days ago we noticed 4-8" of rotten sugar at the base with 1-3' of consolidated snowpack with a 2" wind slab on top while hiking a N facing couloir around 9.5k'. Concerning sugar snow seems most prevalent where you'd expect it: steep, rocky terrain, shaded with shallow snowpack at upper, colder elevations. Sunny faces are largely melted out up to about 9k' in the peaks around town.

Rotten base in spots, shallow to nonexistent throughout.
