Variable conditions with daytime warming softening the southerly aspects, and subsequently freezing once the sun passes more westerly as the day burns on. Wind board and or old slabs continue to break down with diurnal recrystallization in full force due to the frigid overnight lows combining with the daytime highs. Riding continues to improve as the surface snow becomes more faceted. Weak surface snow up to 10 cm deep observed, and even low angle SE aspects are now riding well in dense carve-able snow that was one firm wind board. Interestingly, it appears that more terrain is now opening up for decent/fun riding even though it has not snowed in a week. Small isolated pockets of suspect wind slab still exist in the upper elevations.
