Quick report
Lots of people on the mountain yesterday. Folks skied all around: our group skied Park Headwall, others skied Thunder Glacier, both variants of Moustache got skied, and tons of people on the Roman Wall. Saw folks on the south side of Baker too. The bergschrund at the base of the Park is starting to open; there are ways to traverse over it cleanly far skier's left, but fall-line requires a small (~4-5 ft) mandatory air. Good landing makes it manageable but it's not completely closed. Getting back to the Cockscomb is simple, there's a good bridge.
Snowpack
Snow starts about 0.5 mile from the trailhead. Kind of patchy but Grouse Creek still goes easily without any weird river crossings. Above 6k the snowpack is still quite fat on Baker. Wintery powder on north aspects, mostly windboard/chalk. Upper mountain is still very fat, with most crevasses/bergschrunds mostly filled in.
