More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Good overnight freeze with NE winds keeping most snow surfaces firm throughout the day.  Snow surfaces ranged from firm crusts, breakable crusts, soft unconsolidated snow and corn snow.  No aspects or areas found today had consistent snow surfaces of any type.  Surfacing faceting has taken place on protected north aspects which provided some good ski conditions but is limited to specific areas.  Snowpit showed mostly stable conditions with little to no results from snowpack tests.
