Toured in the Pleasant Creek drainage at elevations from 7,400 to 10,000 feet on primarily north facing slopes. No major signs of instability observed, just sluffing in the new low density snow on steep terrain. See photo below for a typical sluff that resulted from a ski cut on a steep north facing slope. It seemed like any aspect other than true north had a crust from the warm temperatures yesterday, as well as north facing slopes below about 8,800 feet. I dug a quick hand pit on a north facing slope to check out what was going on with the new snow. There is the new 5-6 inches of snow, followed by about 12 inches of right side up, medium to high density snow, followed by a crust layer. The weakest layer seemed to be a thin layer of graupel about 10-12 inches down from the snow surface, perhaps from Saturday but I think it is a non-issue. I was able to pull out a very soft slab above this layer in a hand shear test but it pretty much disintegrated in my hands.

Photo 1 shows the 45 cm of snow above the crust on a north facing slope at 9,500 feet.

Photo 2 shows some sluffing on a steep north facing slope. Not really enough new snow to pack a punch.

Sublime skiing conditions on high north facing! I think on any other aspects you would be bottom feeding.
