Quick report
We saw no cracking or collapsing while skiing. N facing sheltered slopes skied surprisingly well with just a zipper crust from the weekends warm temperatures. S facing around 5700 was unpleasant with an 1in crust that was mostly supportable to skis. On N facing the facets from the dry spell are around a meter deep. The grain size is still large but they are rounding, 4f to 1f hard, and did not propagate in our pit. On S facing the facets were 1' to 2' from the surface, F hard, still very angular, and propagating with moderate force.
