Firm in the morning,

softening in a timely manner.

The "nose" north facing was good around 1 pm.

Upper elevations would roller with ski cutting. Didn't matter and the underlying surface remained supportable, aspect dependent.

Two localized collapses were felt on the ascent outta Mill A. Refreeze of several inches was getting punchy.

Avalanche activity was the rollers and a few point release dribblers on heated aspects.
