I found good turning on soft settled powder on the North protected slopes. The snow pack is very weak down low in the protected areas. I found surface hoar forming in the drainages as well. I could push a pole down to almost the ground at 7000 ft. Up higher there is a bunch of wind slab on the open slopes. It seems that if both the low elevation weak snow got together with the higher elevation slabs it would be a rocky marriage! I think the new snow may be more of a problem at low and mid elevations depending how it comes in.
