Lots of fresh powder today, and temps were much colder than a few days ago. Snow was dry and fluffy in the forest. Once we reached the alpine we found significant wind loading - some sections super deep and some very thin and icy/rocky. There was some fracturing in the deeper snow as we traversed up but no signs of recent avalanches and nothing shifted as we skied down. Snow is still very thin in most places and all fresh powder is still sitting on a very hard and icy crust.
