Based on what we saw today with the warm temperatures below 9,000' I will be looking for areas below that elevation that have warmed up enough to have destroyed any surface weakness. I'm not sure if it was enough of an extended warmup to melt out mid pack and basal facets on north facing slopes below this elevation, but will keep an eye out. I also wouldn't rule out weird surface hoar activity above 9,000' as a few quick hand pits showed a near surface shear and in many places we could see faceted crystals near the surface. We also saw a dirt layer that came in with yesterday's storm and may be noteworthy as the season progresses.
