Widespread whumphing around Specimen Creek today (1/10). All aspects, all elevations.

Quick pits/probing summary:

HS average ~80cm on W-E slopes, dramatically less on southerlies.

Bottom 15-20cm F, facets

Upper ~60cm 1F-F

Due southerly slopes had a pronounced crust, but disappeared rapidly with subtle aspect change

 

Wx summary

Light to moderate wind through most of the day, generally WSW

Very light snowfall beginning around noon

 

One possible crown observed, but super hard to be sure through the clouds and snow. Would estimate an ESE slope, ~8000', D1.5

 

Ski quality was excellent. Still lots of rocks and deadfall scattered about to ski lightly though.
