Firm conditions early morning and late afternoon as the wet snowpack freezes. Watch overnight temps as an indicator for how good the freeze is.

A firm isothermic snow pack exists across the mountain.  This means firm surface conditions in the early and late hours of the day, thanks to the cold overnight temperatures.  Surface conditions may lose cohesion in the heat of the day combined with heat and possible precip in the changing weather.
