    At 9 am everything is still firm on solar aspects. Looks like S faces will go in an hour or two but E faces are still semi wintery in spots.

    Any beta on backcountry conditions? I’m assuming it’s hard to find wintery snow that hasn’t been blown to shit? Has the corn grown to perfection yet or did the winds slow down the process?
