okay since you asked today was a very good ski day at Crystal.  the 4 inches they claimed at th top was legit and by openign at 9am was more like 6 inches.  North facing aspects were drifted in deeper and rode deep enough to not touch bottom.  By 2pm it was possible to link high speed powder turns down other aspects (like right under Rainier Exp.) too.

The morning snow line was halfway up Chinook express, by mid afternoon it was down to 410.

It was partly cloudy until 11am then got a little bit socked in but not too bad.

Northway and Southback never opened.

Not epic but really fun -- the place was nearly vacant and there was untracked to be had all day. 

tomorrow will be a great day if it snows 4 more inches, which is very likely.
