Snow Characteristics Comments
Nice to find a little new snow up there. Dust-on-crust conditions, and you could feel the variable, not so smooth snow surface under the new powder. The best shallow powder conditions are found on lower angled slopes.

Comments
We observed numerous recent natural small loose avalanches or sluffs of new snow in very steep terrain above about 8000'. These would be classified as D1, but some ran pretty far.
Even a few inches helped riding conditions at upper elevations. It's nice to see some fresh white on the landscape...
