I found pretty good skiing in non-solar aspects above 8000ft where the majority of this season's snow has held on through the dry and warmer weather cycle. I didn't observe any evidence of consolidation in the snowpack with facets on the surface and at the ground level. The current setup reminds me of the Novemember 2022 snowpack (with less snow obviously) of which was an actor in the large avalanche cycle we saw in December and January of 2023. Time will tell what happens with the current snowpack once additional snow falls.
