Rain at the trailhead, turning to mixed precipitation by ~1100m, resulted in significant glopping. By 1400m snow was dense, but drier. Seemed to be accumulating right side up and bonding well to the previous surface. Above 1500m there was 10-15cm of new snow on the old skin track. Ski penetration 25cm+ when breaking trail. Winds generally light. Occasional gusts caused trees to shed. No notable wind slab development up to 1750m / 2:30pm. Some sluffing/loose dry during the descent. Not significant enough to be hazardous. Observed a large bull moose at the intersection of Red Tree Road & Snake Bite.
