Quick report

Deep to very deep. Big skis pushing at least 12” through made for good exercise. Plenty of small, localized cracks throughout the day, but nothing cohesive and no releases on a few small rollover cuts. No whomps. Light and unconsolidated above ~6k, creamy towards 5k, wind affected everywhere, either crust/deposition or tree bomb cratered. Below 5500 was starting to set up, but still pleasant.

Noticed a relatively shallow crown, best guess from Friday night wind deposition.
