new snow fell right side up, seems bonded well to old surface but did detect some thin crusts at interface, could be wet snow or sun/temp crusts? Only actual natural activity we noticed was some small soft cornice falls and sluffing, all limited to new snow. New snow has improved conditions, and as long as you traveled on areas that had old wind slabs or on old tracks, the older pack would support you. Wind exposed ridgelines, fetches, etc made for easy travel, but as soon as you got into sheltered areas that still harbor the weakest snow, it was back to floundering to the dirt, we just added another foot of new snow on top of weak faceted crystals and trail breaking was a chore. We attempted to locate old uptracks to make travel easier, and when you wander off track, there was no support even on skis.
