<p>There was some obscure evidence of larger natural slides on upper elevation south-east through north-east aspects. I also observed quite a bit of cracking both shallow/soft and deep/hard on mid-elevation ridgelines and more widespread up high, as well as significant cross-loading of upper elevation north-east aspects. Also observed some dry loose action on slopes in the upper 30-degree range.</p>

It wasn't too hard to find great powder today, however, I did find plenty of wind crusts and slabs along with rock hard winds scoured slide for life conditions scattered around the compass at upper elevations.
