Had some good runs on a few of the glaciers back in Big Blue area. North facing glacier slopes held soft snow with some pockets of slight surface wind crust, no signs of instability were observed. Other aspects on the glaciers held varied snow with wind and sun crusts, and wind slabs. South facing aspects (even at high elevation) experienced a warming snowpack throughout the course of the afternoon with observed pinwheeling and small-medium wet point-releases.
