Quick report

No real signs of instability. 2-5 inches of new snow on top of the crust depending on elevation/aspect. Clear signs of wind effect on every aspect of Baker, but didn't seem to be forming any real wind slab. Dug a small pit with ectnp11 on the new snow interface. Overall a beautiful day. Was able to drive to ~3300 feet on the road. Skied all the way back to my car, but required a creative route in one or two spots. I'm guessing you'll need to take off skis soon.
