Quick report
I toured up to 3000', right at the top of Warmup Bowl. Clouds were building through the afternoon, making for poor vis so I stayed on the front side. I didn't see any signs of natural avalanche activity, but some of the steeper start zones at the top of Warmup Bowl and Zero Bowl had some fresh thin wind slabs that looked like they'd be reactive. Still soft snow to be found on the front side!

Mostly cloudy with increasing cloud cover through the afternoon. Calm winds, no precip. There was about an inch of new snow from the past 24 hours, which had been blown around a bit more above treeline.
Snowpack
No signs of recent avalanche activity, other than the ongoing glide cycle. Yesterday's snow and wind were enough to build thin wind slabs (2-6" thick) in some terrain, but there was still soft snow to be found. Most surfaces were a thin wind-pressed layer sitting on top of faceted snow. I did not dig any formal pits, just a bunch of hand pits as I traveled.
