No sign of instability (including Stevens Pk gullies. Snow depth from ~1-2" at Lone Lk to ~12-18" along W Willow Pk summit ridge. Ascended ridge E/NE directly above the lake through dense trees & brush to summit ridge. rain/melt/freeze crust breakable at the lake gradually became mostly boot supporting at 5,800 to 6,000 ft. Did not take time to investigate conditions below the crust but it was dry & granular - breaking through the crust, boots easily went knee deep to dirt.
