It was much better than dust on crust, but you could definitely feel the crust. Slope that saw a lot of surface melt now have a stout 10-15cm melt/freeze crust below the new snow. Due north has a very thin crust buried under the new snow, and generally dry snow below that. There was around three to four inches of new snow accumulation that was well bonded to the frozen crusts below.

From Vail Pass up to Unvea Peak and back

Southerly slopes wrapping around to the east that were previously wet are now capped by a thick melt/freeze crust. I dug on due south and below the crust; the remaining snow was still moist but not concerning. North aspects had a thin crust but otherwise dry snow and no real layer of concern in the upper snowpack. Around the thin crust were some small facets, but they appeared to be rounding. The new snow improved the skiing/travel, but was not a concern for avalanches.

Grey and obscured skies with light to moderate snowfall throughout the day—very little wind.
