Quick report

Sun has gotten to the south side of the compass and wind has gotten to the norths, particularly in less protected, more alpine terrain. Overall snow conditions were variable. We experienced some very shallow wind slabs near ridgetops. On mid-elevation (7000’-8000’) steep northeast aspects we found soft snow and experienced minor sluffing.
