Highly variable snow conditions - seems most connected snow is found on NE-N-NW (perhaps some east) above about 9500'. Plenty of wind, sun, and temperature damage; however faceted snow rules the day. Weakest snow seems to be either at or just below the surface or in the faceted graupel layer post frontal from last week's storm. Unlikely we'll have enough load to activate this structure (much less ski and ride - but I'm always surprised (amused?) at people's enthusiasm year after year).
