Quick report
Beauty of a few days at Williams Peak Yurt with very spring-like conditions each day we ventured out for a ski. We found quality corn skiing throughout the mornings and early afternoons with no obvious signs of instability aside from uncohesive, non-supportable snow in the late afternoon each day (once the limited refreezes broke down).
Snowpack below 8k' is isothermic and got punchy/unsupportable each afternoon.Weather

Generally warm sunny days and cool enough nights to set up superficial surface refreezes. Ripping winds Sunday night and strong winds continuing to blow on Monday.
Snowpack
No digging during the trip, but snow surfaces corned up nicely by 11am in direct sunshine. Superficial surface refreezing took place each night with 5~10cm refreezes above 8k'.
Avalanche
Widespread old wet loose avalanche activity observed on all aspects and elevations with steeper slopes. Less so on due north aspects above 10k'.
