Today where we traveled we saw very few signs of instabilities. We found good riding, especially in North-facing upper elevation terrain. Overall the new snow seems to be bonding pretty well with the old snow. When we stuck our shovels on an NW aspect, and 25-degree slope at 8100' about 40cm down we found a stout graupel interface but within our pit, we couldn't get any propagation. We saw a few signs of wet-loose activity on high due south, but I think the light breeze kept a lot of the wet-loose activity at bay. Over the next few days with increased temperatures and more solar, I would imagine the riding conditions would diminish.

I would continue to watch that graupel interface with increased load in either the form of wind or snow or intense increased solar on due south.
