You could say it's still thin out there. Traveled today between 7,000' and 10,500', and the rain line seemed to be up to just above 8,500'. Above that was 4-10" of snow where we traveled.
On the north half of the compass, the overall snow structure is poor, and a slab sits atop multiple persistent weak layers. Of note was moist snow up to 9,000' all around the compass in protected areas.
A southeast slope around 9,500' was pretty thin and shows how much of a difference a little elevation and change in terrain characteristics make a difference.
Cracking and collapsing were everywhere on the north half of the compass as soon as we got above 9,500'. From wind-loaded stiff drifts to soft slabs in protected terrain, red flags were obvious and helped us key in on where the poor snow structure was.
