Comment - 
 The rapid warming really did not start until I was down. 9am
Light winds at lower protected elevation, fairly high wind up on ridge from the approx the NE.
  Very consistent hard granular surface and sub surface.
Boots made minimal tracks on the surface.
  Skis made minimal tracks on the decent, able to hold a good edge when needed.
  A few small areas with good corn in the sun.
These conditions were what was left from the 12" of wet snow last weekend that some friends rode in the same area.
