Snow surface

Southern aspects have a supportable melt/freeze sun crust. Today winds kept the curst supportable, and by 4pm the crust was soft and corn-like.
Northern aspects have 4-12" of low density snow sitting on a stout melt/freeze crust formed during a warm storm event last weekend (4/17-4/29.)

Snowpack

A stout supportable crust exists on all aspects to at least 3800' (haven't been higher) and has caused the snowpack to become strong and stable.

*On shaded aspects there is 4-12" of low density snow on the surface. Should the winds start to blow this weekend there is still snow available for transport.
