Mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, fairly chilly. Some nice skiing on north/northeast aspects with a bit of powder, especially in protected areas, but everything else was mostly wind and sun affected/crusty. No signs of instability besides older pinwheels and thin, isolated wind slab (small and no propagation). Surface hoar growing on the upper slopes (north side) of dome ridge.
