Quick report

Went in search of soft snow void of tracks, between the east wind damage the sun and a lot of old tracks the pickings are getting slim. Still finding some soft snow on north facing wind protected terrain with facets underlying it. The surface is also starting to facet in this northerly protected terrain but that is only a very small portion of the pie. Sluffing was once again common on the steep north facing, all other aspects seemed to be locked in place. Wet activity was minimal due to a chilly north wind and cooler temps. Wind slabs also seemed stubborn in the terrain covered. Photos, Kobernik kicking off a sluff in steep north facing terrain, still a little soft snow to be had if you look hard enough.

Snowpack

Soft powder on the protected north facing with soft snow underlying the new snow, dust on crust east through west, damp or a melt-freeze crust on all south facing aspects, wind crust in wind exposed terrain.
