Observations in Hyalite

Iv been fortunate enough to spend the past three days skiing around hyalite. On Monday, we were skiing a low angle gully a mile NE of Backmore along the ridge. We noticed new snow point and releases on most steep aspects above 40 degrees, no signs of new snow stuff stepping down. Today while on the East Fork ridge south of Palisades mountain, I covered SE-NW aspects and the new snow seemed well bonded. Solar aspects from the high pressure last week had an obvious crust layer, but new snow seemed bonded. On shadier aspects, I felt facets below new snow but no obvious signs of instability.. yet.
