Comments
We found fresh rime crystals on the tree branches and the snow surface. It was gorgeous, but we could not see much because we were in the clouds most of the day. We had a mixed bag of stability test results, saw no obvious signs of instability, and found poor snow structure wherever we dug into the snow.
