Quick report

Weak refreeze overnight left a good skiing surface as soon as the sun came out around 0930. Light breeze out of the S. Skies with high clouds. Temps above freezing throughout the day. Traveled around broken top CW. Crater is melting fast but all other aspects still hold a lot of snow. Consolidated on all but northeasterly aspects. Large cornices persist. East aspects were soft enough for wet loose on steep aspects by around 1030.
