Iago Ridge but not summit and no back bowl. Road to ottomite was raining on the way up, wet-snow on the way down (5cm by 3pm). Tricky Trees section to base of Iago Ridge was wet mixed precip on the way up and 10cm wet snow by 3pm. Iago ridge had 10-15cm wet snow then a small breakable crust, then 5cm under that,, no vis, and strong winds from the East/SE. No signs of instability. No cracks/slides/rollers/pinwheels/sloughing, Some steep side hilling could get top 15cm to slide on crust below when skinning/making a hard stop skiing. All Gear Drenched. Fun was had.
