About 3 inches of fresh "snow" at the bottom, maybe 5-6 at the top of chair 2. The consistency was about the same top to bottom, at least in the morning: it seemed as if 1/2 of 1 degree farenheit more would have resulted in rain.
It was really heavy, and not at all well enough bonded w/ what was underneath. I broke off a significant slough on the steepest part of lower int. right above Snake Dance, the steepest parts of the Fan looked as though they'd sloughed off spontaneously or w/ a ski cut.
BC and breakover/shot 6 didn't open when I was there, and word was daytime warming had the potential to close chair 2.
Underneath it was pretty hard and slick in the morning, softening varied w/ elevation as the day went on and the base temp approached 40 degrees. Saw a teenage boy fall on the Fan, slide out of control, and bounce down the little cliff band on his back. He did a fair amount of screaming in pain at first but I think he was just banged up.
No crowds at all, and power-carvable down low once it warmed up a little. All in all it was a fun, but more challenging than you'd think.
