Quick report
Almost all of our travel was in wind-sheltered terrain, and we didn't encounter any wind-affected snow except for some very small cornices along the road which looked to have formed earlier in the storm cycle (top ~20cm of powder on top of the harder, wind-affected snow). Heading down (North) off the road into the clear cuts, the new snow felt consolidated and had a smooth density gradient down to the interface under this storm cycle. We were able to demonstrate small sluffs (dry loose) in the top 10-20cm of cold powder on steeper test slopes (>40 degrees) but saw no other signs of instability. We didn't dig to assess how well the new snow is bonded to the 2/24 interface, but quick probing with ski poles found the crust at least 70-100cm from the new snow surface. We skied all three clear-cuts from the road. Conditions throughout the day varied from heavy snowfall to brief bouts of sun and clear sky. As we were leaving in the afternoon, the snowfall changed to more rime/graupel-like crystals and we observed a very light crust forming on slopes with sky/solar exposure, but not under tree cover.
