Quick report

While we haven't had much new snow, there were still some soft spots with good turns. The best spot was the last few hundred yards to the creek. If warm weather stays around, keep an eye out for more widespread wet avalanches for now; they were very small at the lowest elevations. Wind crust could grow if the storm on Sunday gives us more snow to transport.

Snowpack

At upper elevations, most of the snowpack was cohesive. Some lighter snow at the top from the minimal new snow we've got in the last week with a small wind crust. Below that is a solid block down over a meter.
