We found pretty nice shallow powder and dust-on-crust conditions. Although mostly supportable, shallow conditions exist and sharp rocks are certainly a concern. The snow is sugary and rotten in places; around rocks and in shallow areas.

Very nice shallow powder on select upper elevation north and east facing slopes. Dust-on-crust at lower elevations and on slopes facing southern half of compass.
