Road was in up to 1200m, stopped by snow. 4x4 with good clearance required. 2 washouts to be mindful of. Walked to 1350m then skis on to 1800m where boot packing began. Lots of old avvy debris, up to 2.5. No current activity observed. Snow started supportive crusty but evolved to nice corn then gluey mashed potatoes below 1500m mid-afternoon. Skied from the summit down slopes up to 40 degrees. 4 easy creeks to cross. Superb day.
