Snow Conditions
powder

Snowpack was dry unlike conditions further south. ECT-M down 40-60 in sudden planar or sudden collapse on facets. Widespread evidence of cracking, but not extensive propogation. Upper snowpack is not yet stiff enough for widespread activity. Surface snow skied well, but sounded and felt a lot like surface facets.

Weather

No snow transport observed early in day, moderate by the end of day

Snowpack

All the ingredients are there, but not enough cohesion in the upper snowpack in many places.
