no new snow, surface facets forming in the am at valley floor and strong solar radiation on southerlies at mid-day. Avalanche activity: skied a n/ne slope up to 35ish degrees with quite a few old tracks. No cracking, collapsing, or other avi activity of note. Did have one minor slough on an e/ne slope, but it was very small
