Pretty anorexic snow pack. Hiked alot of the way up until trees opened up on Saddle Route. Before it got to hot we rode down to Jewl lake. Conditions felt good and safe. Lots of Exposure without good snow pack. Boot packed up Hourglass and conditions were dense powder. Great conditions for steep shaded slopes. Sluff management.
