We encountered fewer people than I expected for Memorial Day weekend and the first weekend after the White River Camp Ground was opened. It was skis on pack all the way from the White River Camp (4,400') all the way to Glacier Basin (6,000'). Crevasses are exposed on the Interglacier but easily avoided. I I began my descent at about 3PM. It was a little late in the day as the snow was heavy and wet. Not ideal conditions, but not bad either. With the clear skies and gentle breezes, it was all in all a great day.
