Faceted cold smoke on fissile. 20+ tracks in the NW Face and 15+ tracks in Banana Chute by the end of the day. A little skied/sloughed out now then? Little to no recent wind effect in the alpine. Steep solar got moist in the top few cm. The Dec 9 outflow windslab is P+ under the recent HST in areas that were exposed to the northeastern outflow and associated cold downflows, doesn't seem to affect skiing except in places where cross loaded and the windslab is a variable surface. So far SH hoar development seems to be confined to valley bottoms where creeks are still open.
