Instability Comment
<p>Loose wet commonplace up to size 1.5 on sunny aspects from Wed; this also noted on mid-elevation northerly aspects today as well, though more minor in scope. Cloud cover and moderate westerly winds kept things in check; but enough blue sky to adequately ventilate the snow surfaces (ie - no greenhousing). </p> <p>Mostly healed and dormant; clean CTM shears a foot down though no propagation with tests. Remnant layering as noted in control work with air blasts from two days ago on the east side of the Eden valley. </p>

5 star views, 5 star company, 3 star skiing.  Maybe more.  Supportable wind buff, quasi-corn all consistent.  Some rimed snow surfaces predominantly up high and westerly.
