We started too late. It was hot. There was mush. Corn is a ways off still.

N facing held okay preserved but moist "creamy" pow. There were some little sluffs coming down constantly off cliffs in shaded terrain, where the snow is in the process of transforming. We intentionally ski cut a little slide entering the steeper part of our line but it didn't grow much because the snow there was sheltered from the sun. Sunny side observations indicated the potential for large wet slides with a trigger where these haven't run already.

I think there is still some good snow preserved on high N faces but also quite a lot of debris and funk to be expected in couloirs and similar features.
