Did a single lap on Hilda Ridge where we found breakable and non-breakable wind hammered crust over facets in the low alpine and surface facet powder like snow at treeline. The skiing was ok I guess, I wouldn't call it terrible but we didn't bother doing a second lap and spent more time driving than on skis. Very windy, clouds moving in and warm. Most alpine areas look to have more rock than snow, including Parkers Ridge which I would not bother skiing at currently.
