Snow condition

No surprise, even after the last snowfall it's still an absolute catastrophe. no pines are snowed in, lots of rock contact. There probably won't be any south-facing firn this year

Snow quality

Really fine powder on the north side and plenty of it too. On the east side, it got a sting from the strong sun this morning. Because it was so steamy and warm, the snow on the north side also increasingly resembles honey up to around 2300.

The fresh snow did not appear to be bound like typical drift snow. The warmth most likely favored the formation of slabs.

Overall impression

Due to the poor snow conditions, it's a lot of work to get good turns. The weather did funny things to the beautiful powder today.
