Unconsolidated new snow Northern Madison

Got an early start on a tour in the Northern Madison range, exploring subalpine terrain.

We observed approximately 15-20” of fresh snow which was unconsolidated, and didn’t observe any wind affected areas, even at mountain tops and ridge tops. Also did not see any cracking as we broke trail and skied over test convexities. The snow was quite light as well, and new snow appeared to be right side up. 
 

Snow pit results were unremarkable on a SE aspect at 9k feet. 
 

Lots of snow available for transport!
