Warming and cold snow at Twin Peaks

We chased unconsolidated cold snow on the N aspects of Twin Peaks today. This was largely successful on steeper North facing slopes. Where these slopes were 40+ degree we could trigger loose dry sloughs, a few of which were almost big enough to push someone over. Test slopes on the ridgeline a few hundred yards north of Twin Peaks were covered in largely unconsolidated snow and did not fail when jumped on. We observed some light wind transport in the area from an East wind.  Non-north facing slopes had a variably supportable crust in the morning and were quite soft after 11. We started a few loose wet sloughs on east facing slopes after 12:00.
