The wind was almost non-existent along the ridges on Wednesday. Temperatures have been very mild for a few days now. Southerly facing slopes have a sun crust on them. All aspects up to around 8500' had damp snow on the surface and you'll find crusts there also. You'll find some wind crusts along the higher terrain and some stout wind slabs. Soft but dense nice riding snow still exists in many locations.

The snow surface looks good right now for receiving another layer on top of it. It is not very weak. Another layer on top of it should produce a mostly stable situation depending on how today's potential few inches of new snow and the anticipated weekend storm shakes out.
