Softens up to 8" slush after 15min exposure to sun.
N side stuff that was in the shade had a skiable crust (when not frozen pin-wheels).
When walking N side above yesterdays freeze level and in the sun, step kicking was a bit more work than I like.
I guestimate sunny slopes to have a High avy danger w/ potential for climbax slides w/ sliding surface at any number of crusts formed as late as yesterday, as far back as last 10 days ago (1" to 1' deep?)
