Extremely firm conditions on the NE side of the ridge. Solar schmoo starting on the SW side. Pockets of powder, pockets of ice. Very variable.

Weather

What little snow was available for transport on Lee slopes was being really picked up and moved away. Spectacular ridge top BS. I suspect not much will be left to transport from W thru S slopes in the next 6-12h.
