Richard and I skied the West side of Frisco down into Maple Creek. Left Rainy Pass around 7am, and had to boot part of the ascent to attain the bench above Rainy Lake. Starting skiing shortly after 10am, and the snow was firmer than expected, but completely edgeable and corning up nicely on certain aspects. At the very bottom it was started to get soupy. The ski down to Ann Lake had a foot of slush, and we triggered a number of small, wet, loose slides. With some slough management and terrain selection, we carefully made our way down to the Lake and then back to the car.
Nice report.
I wonder if the fracture seen in left shadowed area of picture #1 was water percolation down to the MLK crust?

Could be. I didn't pay too much attention to it, but my guess based on the size of the crown is that it didn't reach down that far.
