Snow has mostly melted off southerly and westerly aspects. Northerly aspects are still holding about 2' of snow at 8800', entire snowpack is damp. No propagation with ECT tests. Had some cracking (width of the shovel) at 40cm from the ground on the melt freeze crust formed prior to 11/9 storm and buried gaupel (from 11/9 storm) interface.
