I was in the Musical Bumps yesterday.
Lots of tracks everywhere. I only saw two new fracture lines both associated 
with size 1 sides.  One was in the only gully near the top of Oboe Mt's NW 
side. The other tiny slab was off the NE side of Flute. This slid on a layer of 
stellars 30- 40 cm down in the new snow. 
Digging into the snow produced a few easy and moderate shears in F - 4f+ snow, 
all coming out easily. Where I went the Jan 4 surface hoar is well defined at 
60 - 80 cm down but seemed unreactive to tests and ski cutting.
Pretty good ski quality!
