Trace new snow. We found a single ski and it had no new snow on it.

Went for a short tour in up thousand dollar run. We stopped at 3900′ feet and did a few short laps down to the flats. Very poor light made for tricky riding conditions.

Lots of tracks on the lower ridge with some lower density surface snow.The ski quality was fair even in the flat light. Tundra and grass could be sticking out through the snowpack near ridge tops.
We conducted no formal stability tests. Ski pole probes showed that the poor structure is persisting at mid elevations.
