Took the easy long way up from old glory parking lot to the summit. Wind scoured with exposed rock up there until about 50-100m down. Skied north side down to car. Snowpack seemed very stable. Still needs accumulation to cover some rocky spots, took a nice gouge out of my base. No cracks no wumphs no sign of recent slides. We saw folks skiing the opposite aspect with no issues towards Red as well. Beautiful day with nice snow when you could get into it.
