Quick report
It was a good riding day with right side up dry, low density powder. Riders were out on steep slopes and no new avalanches were triggered. Any signs of avalanches, aside from one tiny sluff, were at least 3 days old.

Snowpack
It was a nice change to have dry, cold, low density snow. The snow progressively got harder the deeper I dug into the snowpack. I still found subtle failure planes in the top foot of the snowpack, although they didn't propagate in tests. Large surface hoar grains were present on the surface.
