Very distinct layers of snow: ~10 cms fresh, followed by ~25 cms of hard packed, and then extremely hard packed/ice that's difficult to dig into. There were many signs of heat effects on sunny slopes from previous warmer days. No new signs of heat effects. Some minor sluffing from the new snow on steeper slopes - natural and human triggered.
