Quick report

Decent refreeze down low with zero boot or ski pen from 745-815am. Ski pen increased to 1" on top of a 2-3" frozen crust from around 7500 to the summit. Rode Hollywood bowl at 10am and the panels of snow between previous wet slides was smooth fast corn top to bottom. No roller balls or other wet instabilities while riding. Walking back to car boot pen was ankle deep. The rock pinches at the top of the bowl are melting fast and were tricky to negotiate. Also lots of tree debris covering the slope accelerating suncups.
