New snow varied greatly from 8-20" in the snake creek area with highest totals in the ant knolls area into sunset peak basin. No signs of collapsing, cracking or any major instabilities and new snow appeared to bond well with old snow.
Noted dry sloughs only on N/NE slopes where angles hit closer to 40 degrees and some roller ball/wet sloughing from previous day on east to south slopes
Great riding conditions above 8700 but not bottomless. Dust on crust was more apparent under 8k

Noted a good bond to old snow in this area but also noted sluffing</p> <p>Though the clouds covered most slopes this morning and early afternoon, we noted snow changing from blower early morning to damp by 11am despite little to no sun at 9k. This will be an increasing problem early this week.</p>
