Comments
Dusk tour today. Southerly aspects heated up today, even up to at least 9000'. By the evening, snow quality on these aspects was "not good" - mostly curb and gutter breakable crust and slick supportable crusts.
Upper elevation, northerly, sheltered slopes still have dry settled snow. Lots of wind slab out there on various aspects. Total snow depth has settled to about 1 to 2 feet.
