A good amount of fresh, somewhat dense and rimed new snow including some graupel. Around 6" of fresh accumulation at the lake, but more like a foot in beginner bowl and above around 8500' in elevation. Under the fresh snow from the last couple days, we found a thin layer of harder snow (5-10 cm) capping the still warm and soft ground on a north facing slope.

Very shallow, early season conditions exist, and you are likely to hit rocks or woody debris in most areas.
