Low and mid-elevations sported a nice frozen crust in the am with the rising sun promising a creamy corn surface to develop on sunny aspects. Above the "dead tree knob" (the prominent knob above the upper weather station with a big dead tree on it), the snow from last Thursday night began to make its appearance and gradually deepened to about 3-4" at just below the upper ridge line. The ridge line to the summit was plastered with a thick coat old and fresh wind slab and crust.
Relatively recent cross-loading of steeper upper elevation slopes. Obvious enough from a distance to warrant moderate hazard.
Many natural wet slides occurring in the steeper upper elevation slopes which faced the sun.
