Only 5 cm of new snow in the Wildhorse area, but a few recent wind slab avalanches (size 2) triggered beneath cornices on northeast slopes. Typical snow depths around treeline was 150 cm. You could easily punch through the crusts beneath the new snow into wallowly facets when sledding and skinning, but skied surprisingly well.
