Conditions were decent on northern aspects. Found some small pockets of wind slab but they were unreactive. Southern aspects had a breakable sun crust which turned to cement closer towards the pipeline road. Day was very warm, around 0 at the car. No signs of instability where we skied.

Some recent new snow and wind loading on north aspects seems to be well bonded to the quite consolidated base.
