Wind were strong overnight and during the day, redistributing snow on polar aspects. Ski quality was all over the place, from excellent powder to wind hammered/rimed crust. Main concern were Windslabs at ridge top down 15-25cm which were mostly soft and reactive to skier traffic. Lots of spring convective action and isothermal snowpack below 3-5cm breakable crust at valley bottom.
