Quick report

Few signs of instability. Small reactive wind slabs could be found near the ridgeline in expected areas. Small cracking of the most recent storm snow (2-3") observed once on a new skin track switchback. Multiple hand pits at various elevations (>5000') and aspects broke similarly: storm interface ~1.5' down with a lot of force and Q2 fracture quality. Skiing quality was good once below the wind affected snow near the ridges. Very light snow and ridge top winds until both started to pick up to light~moderate around 2 pm.
