Quick report

Snow coverage on the trail was pretty good with some rocky spots the last mile. Patchy soft crust and hard wind affected snow was most of the face headed up from the glacier. The new snow in the forecast could cause some wind loading and add weight and create a problem, but while we were out there no obvious issues or red flags. Intermittent wind affected snow throughout the basin. Not much loose snow for transport but found some deposits.
