- <p>Basal facets still reactive in some snowpits. </p>
Very little coverage in Mill D South/Cardiff fk. Maybe the lowest I've seen this time of year in 20+ years. More reminicent of October coverage

- <p>Basal facets are still reactive, showing propagation in some pits in NW-N-NE. Did not show propagation in all pits. No recent avalanche activity noted. </p>
Real mixed bag of conditions. South-facing slopes had some unsupportable crust covered by a bit of graupel on low-angle slopes with supportable MF crust with some graupel on top on steeper slopes. Northerly facing slopes had a wind slab-esque unsupportable "crust' (suspected warm snow surface that was refreezing) on many open slopes below 9,900' observed down to 9,000'. Gladed areas had slightly better conditions with more supportable dense graupel and powder.
