Soft snow on Relay Peak

We toured Relay Peak, starting from the trail head around 0915. We skinned from 8,500 ft to nearly 9,700. There were no observed snow instabilities. Fresh snow was falling and it was delight to ski. The soft snow had accumulated a couple inches, potentially up to 1ft on wind loaded aspects/pockets, before bottoming out to a ski supportable crust. Winds were lighter earlier in the day, but picked up in the afternoon. Temperatures remained just below freezing. We skied Relay Peak West Face, and part of Tamarack Peak's South aspect.
