Dust on crust on Andesite Peak

There was less than 0.5 cm of new snow when we left the trailhead on Donner Summit at 10 am. Traveling to Andesite Peak, old snow surfaces were refrozen, supportable on solar aspects with some breakable crust in shaded areas. Snowfall rates stayed very light through the morning hours with only a short lived increase to S1. There was some blowing snow on the ridgetop, but no noticeable drifts of new snow had formed prior to 11 am, including in the areas that are traditionally wind loaded. Upon our departure from the area about noon, there was no more than 1 cm of new snow at that time. Dust on crust conditions.
