Went back up White Pine to see if there was any soft snow left, did a run in one of the NW facing couliors off of Red Baldy, then proceeded to the very back of the drainage for a N facing run down to the lake. The snow on the W facing was pretty winded except in the top were it was more protected from the wind, breakable crust and chalky down most of the apron. The N facing line had more consistently soft snow and was more protected from the W winds, it also had a large amount of graupel pooling on the lower slope. The Dickens Crust can still be found on many wind scoured features and doesn't seem to want to break down. Wet activity was minimal because of a cool wind and cloud cover later in the day. It could get interesting if we receive a good load of snow, the DC has faceted snow under it in most places I looked and there's plenty of firm bed surfaces for slides to run on.
