Observations

Toured up to the Jim hill bowl. Turned around at 6k due to a total white out. Below 4700 was wet slush, 4700-5200ft had some terrible breakable crust, and above I found 15-20cm of wet snow on top of the new years crust. I dug a pit at 5600 ft on a N facing slope, 30degrees and got a CTX.

A few wet slides seemed to have run on Thursday/Friday. Hard to get a good photo given viz.
