Lapped Alpy 'till they sent us home, then tromped up the Stump for the sunset.
Snow: This year's "ski penetration 3", pole penetration to the handle" theme continues. Above the trees, found 18-24"+ of wet slop in the afternoon. Weaknesses at 6" (Q2-) and ~12-18" (Q2-3) down, especially on south slopes. Descended after sunset, so the trap crust was stimulating. Alpy had corn on the groomer, morning pow in the shade, especially up high.
