Variable snow conditions on NE aspects above 10,000 feet. widespread wind effect scattered pockets, of deep, punchy snow throughout the underlying chunder from weeks past. More of an ACL/MCL hazard than an avalanche hazard. Occasionally a few good turns in unconsolidated faceted snow were to be had, however it quickly sluffed off to the hard bed surface below. On solar aspects a melt freeze crust was present at all elevations I traveled today (8600-11,100). similar to the shaded aspects there were pockets of wind drifted snow, which were notably damp by 11:30. Would have been fairly easy to trigger a wet loose avalanche on these aspects/pockets of snow by 1:00. Good corn skiing found in the afternoon on low angle S facing slopes off Cardiff pass... if you can avoid the rocks!
