Mixed conditions at 5040 peak. Upper snowpack is isothermal. Skiing on steeper slopes created loose wet sz 1 slides and sluffs. Tarns are opening up. Overnight lows caused minor surface freezing, but it quickly broke down as temps rose. Most slopes had sloppy snow with 15cm ski penetration - little corn snow was found. Sunday night it snowed 5cm above 1200m. Snow depth @1100m ~1m, @1450m ~2.2m
