We are back to having a layered snowpack. The night of 3/7-8 was clear and cold. Cold surface temperatures were observed in the morning of 3/8, and I found a layer of small NSF and surface hoar on N'ly aspects above 8,500ft during the day. This layer got buried this morning (3/9) with moderate density snow and a bit of wind. This layer bears thoughtful travel currently in upper elevation N 1/4, and in mid N 1/4 with more wind or snow. We got some small chunks to fail in between skin track kick turns, and a well placed ski cut at the top of a NE facing slope at 10,400ft resulted in a D1 soft slab. It was producing shooting cracks reliably, though there wasn't quite enough new snow to form much of a cohesive slab (about 2-4") with our high point being 10,500ft. Up on Lone Peak I would expect the possibility for slightly larger and more dangerous slabs. Mostly Low danger observed but Mod in upper N-NE-E.

Of note as well, on NE at 9,600ft I found the The 3/6 graupel layer to have some light faceting on it.

Any aspects that caught some decent solar seemed stable.

Ohyea, and the ski quality was great.
