Snow was being transported easily early in the day, but the morning shot of direct sun made everything damp and reduced but did not stop the snow transport. Warmth was enough to transform dry powder snow into damp snow even in the shaded north facing at 9,500'. This far into April, the midday sun was high enough to shine on 30 degree north-facing slopes. Saw or felt no collapsing. Snow was bonding well and did not crack, slough or run at this lower elevation (9,500'-8,600'). On knobs and ridgelines, quickly in and out of drifts and areas scoured down to the dirty melt/freeze crust. Storm depth was generally 4" to 6" by early afternoon, but this probably reflects the wind stripping off some snow and the sun/warmth causing contraction. I will expect everything around Electric Lake to have a crust Friday morning.
