Still finding a surprising amount of none tracked soft recrystalized snow. in the areas traveled. Todays tour was Spruces to Big Water, skied the steep east facing shot I call Freds Birthday shoot into big water, minimal sluffing and the snow was not rotted to the ground like in No Name, just surface faceting. Next we moved on to the Nipple just south of Soldier Fork E facing with maybe a little south in it. Nice creamy recrystalized snow. Then on to Soldier fork, was thinking it would be rotted to the ground and not ski well because of the lack of any tracks, wrong again skied about the same as every thing else. Exit was out Millcreek. No cracking , collapsing or any other instabilities noted. Weakest snow still on the surface waiting for a load.
Did note more surface hoar development today most likely due to the high humidity from yesterday. Pics, Large surface hoar lower down in Big Water, Smaller surface hoar development in Mill D. Probably won't be a factor if the wind blows as hard as expected.
Still creamy snow on E-SE
