Extremely variable. East facing above treeline aspects were wind hammered, pencil to knife density slab. South facing at and below treeline aspects were pretty crusty and at and below treeline east and north aspects had a lot of new faceting on the surface.

No recent avalanches were observed on today's tour. No whumping, cracking, or other signs of instability were observed either.
