Quick report
On Friday morning I couldn't find any avalanche problems and felt that avalanches were very unlikely. The colder, more wintery weather meant that Wet Loose avalanches weren't a concern, and there wasn't enough new snow to have created any Wind Slabs.

It snowed off and on all morning. Mostly the snowfall was light. Temperatures seemed to hover just below freezing above 7000 ft. The wind was calm throughout most of the terrain, but Light from the southwest at the peak.
Snowpack
I found 3-5 cm. of new snow overlaying a melt-freeze crust. The crust was "soft" enough, and the new snow wasn't light enough for the riding to feel like dust on crust. At 7000 ft. along the summer trail (north glade) I measured 165 cm. of snow. At the lake elevation bare patches are visible but there is still plenty of snow to ride on. South facing slopes at lake elevation are becoming bare.
