As was expected new snow was breaking down onto hard surface from before this little storm we just had. About 5" deep and rather heavy warm damp snow....not typical Utah powder. As the day went on we did not notice the new snow bonding to the old interface. All the slides were rather manageable but I'd HATE to be involved in one of these with no exit available and above steeper terrain.
