Comments: 

Stable conditions found on Punta Bardini this morning from 6:30am till 11am.  Light unconsolidated new snow throughout, deeper in higher elevations and where wind deposited it (from 6" to 1+').  Surface sloughing at steep upper areas of chutes ontop of firm old snow surface.  The excited pooch with us got to go for a bit of a ride in this soft slough!  Denser heavier snow fell at the beginning of this storm and made for a somewhat softer firm surface underneigth the majority of light flufy snow ontop.  Good skinning conditions, great skiing conditions.  Would be cautious still at higher elevations on more exposed slopes.
