More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Poor to decent snow surface refreeze occurred in this area last night. Under forest canopy marginal to unsupportable snow surface conditions existed, especially between 6,500' to 7,500'. Open areas held decent skier supportability on melt-freeze crust up until around 11 am. By 11 am, open E and SE aspects below 7,500' were becoming marginally supportable.
