Observations

About a foot of new snow at Source Lake on top of a fully supportable crust.

Great skiing conditions in the trees. Fairly light and no signs of instability. Hand pits in big trees shower the new snow was well bonded.

Pineapple Pass was totally wind scoured down to the crust, which was still supportable. Wind was moving a lot of snow but it certainly wasn’t accumulating in the pass.
