You should be able to find some good riding and turning conditions out there today on sheltered, and upper elevation northerly aspects. After the big meltdown over the weekend, mountain temperatures this week have remained cool, but solar aspects have seen enough sun to crust over. NW winds mid-week mostly affected only the highest elevations, but they were blowing and drifting snow as well as scouring and lightly crusting some exposed surfaces. In our travels on Wednesday, we found fresh drifts 12"-18" deep on leeward, southerly facing slopes, while cross-loading was also occurring on N-NE aspects. Most of these drifts should be stuck in place today, but keep an out for them, on the leeward sides of terrain features, especially in consequential terrain.

The Jan-Feb persistent weak layer is still present though stability tests are consistently showing the layer to be non-reactive. I feel safe in saying that we have moved into a low probability, but nevertheless, high consequence scenario. The weakest snow exists right around treeline, and steep, complex, featured terrain in this zone is where you are most likely to find trouble.
