We skied on all aspects. The snow quality improved as we gained elevation though still resembled cream cheesy consistency. The skiing was quite supportive and surfy with the best skiing on mellow terrain. In general steeper aspects were quite reactive especially wind loaded east aspects. Travel was slow with deep snow. While it was quite wet the precipitation stayed snow above 3800’. We did observe breezy conditions along ridges.
