Cream Cheese at Cain

We ventured north to Mt Cain to see what the last few storms had done to the snowpack. At higher elevations, 15 cm of moist snow sits over a crust, and down low, wet snow. Wind effect was minor but small soft pockets of up to 50 cm could be found immediately at ridge crest up high.
The day was mostly cloudy, with a trace of convective precipitation. We didn't see any signs of instability, but, old pinwheeling and point releases were apparent.
Where you weren't skiing pinwheels, the ski quality was decent. It's still worth getting out! BTL is melting out quickly but there is still lots of coverage up high.
