Observations
Ski pen ranged from boot to shin deep. Scattered wind skin above 5500ft or so, though nothing very thick or cohesive. Solar aspects will have a crust after today. Some medium-large rollers on the steeps. Noticed that E-SE slopes at upper 5k had only a thin crust with about 1cm of dry snow on top in the afternoon after the sun had passed around the corner from this aspect. Something to keep in mind moving forward. Generally great coverage and travel.
