Traveled from Artist Point trailhead to Herman gulch, took one run down iceberg trees before going back up and over to Mazama bowl. Dropped the bowl around 1 pm and went up secret bowl. Hand pits were mostly unconsolidated and not shearing very cleanly. Slabbing started in the afternoon and more so on sun affected slopes. New snow varied between 8 to 12 inches on the different aspects and elevations. Riding conditions were incredible!
