Should be excellent sliding tomorrow! Light snow started at 2 pm, was heaviest around 4, and was light again by our 6pm exit. Wind speeds had lessened by mid-afternoon. Crust on solar aspects could still be felt under the new snow, although some steeper south slopes were frighteningly bare so soon after the storm last weekend. With sun angles climbing and snow depths that allow light penetration to the ground, its hard to imagine how we'll build a snowpack on those aspects.

Wind slabs and drifts present, but less sensitive (less cracking, collapsing or sliding) than expected. Weak faceted snow remains at the base of the pack, but yesterday's Pointy Peak avalanche was really our only evidence that it can be activated.
