Quick report
We climbed to roughly 6000ft where we found about 12 inches of new/recent snow. We skied a NE aspect that was sheltered from both the sun and trees, and snow was dry and unconsolidated on this sheltered slope. There was much rejoicing. Just some minor stuffing below rocks or trees in steep terrain.
