Lots of previous traffic up Saddle Pass and Surprise Pass, lots of stiff windslab, not a lot of fresh lines. The run skied quite chalky but edgeable and supportive. Some nice low density pow in sheltered areas at TL and below where we also observed large surface hoar chains. Skin track and bootpack were in great shape. Just below zero and calm winds all day.
