Found good skiing in the Phantom couloir, and relatively quick travel to and from the Ogden benches on a supportive crust that held up with a decent freeze. Conditions in the couloir were powder/packed powder, overlaying a couple of crusts. Regular skier traffic seems to have broken up any slab which may have been lingering near the top. The benches themselves were a supportive crust overlaid with a bit of windblown snow. We witnessed a few small scuffs of snow off Ogden (max 0.5) as brief periods of sun warmed the rocks and loosened up the snow that remained.
