Quick report
At this lower elevation, the only danger seems to be new snow sluffing. Super stout crust over lying the rest of the pack.

3. Pit at 6600ft. Dug down only 70 cm and this shows the stout 6 inch rain crust with wet snow underneath.

Nice dry snow on all aspects. Up to 7 inches of new at 6800ft. sitting on firm rain crust. Fast fun turning on surface hoar.
