With Low danger, easy travel, and fair weather, it's an excellent time to get out into more interesting terrain.

Impressed with the extent of the avalanche cycle from early January. Primrose is filled with debris; same for the Giant Staircase.

Snowpack

You wouldn't call it "hero-snow", but at least it's supportable and predictable. 

Faux-corn on southerlies with patches of hard wind-jack and recrystallized snow on the northerlies.
