Observations

Solar aspects with combination of melt-freeze and wind effect resulting in boilerplate difficult to travel up. Shady areas holding soft snow. Above tree line was a homogenous snowpack with no slab. No wind today. Partly cloudy, when the sun came out warmed up solar aspects quickly. Skiing wind-sheltered, non-solar aspects was really good.
