snow had deteriorated today with winds and yesterday's heat pow only found in deep dark shady areas or very steep ne. some wet action observed. point release off rocks. on drive down I noticed sizeable wet debris in powerhouse chutes.
a little bit of wind drifted snow noted in boot pack and skinner but very dense (ski penetration 1") Felt bonded, not hollow and not " much" snow readily/easily avail for transport anymore where I was. some wind dying as day progressed. wet snow at 1130@93000. full sun no clouds.
