Went for a tour up to Patsey Marley from Twin Lakes Pass this morning. On a North facing slope at 10,400' the height of this week's new low-density snow was about 6", which was sitting atop a thick, slick crust (see photo). I imagine one could get this new snow to sluff off on steeper slopes, and a couple dry-loose slides were visible throughout the day. Below the crust lied 48 cm of 4F snow, with the bottom 34 cm being slightly less hard (4F-) and having larger grains. Main concern for the day was definitely low-tide conditions. While some good turns are being found up high in the shade, coverage can change drastically with every passing turn. Still plenty of rocks out there.
