Observations
Wet snow up till about 5k or so then it started to dry out, isolated pockets of unconsolidated pow in areas that didn't see sun. Most aspects above treeline had wet slide debris all over them. The slot skied amazing until the apron where there was lots of debris & crust. Sheltered northern aspects still seem to be holding but that's about it.
