Cold morning with crystal clear skies. Wind out of the north blowing pretty hard up high (senate, galena, etc) but calm at lower ridge lines. We saw some god wind effect on north facing slopes but no wind loading on the south slope we skied. About 4 inches of fresh snow on supportive crust. Beautiful morning of skiing
