Toured Bald Hills, not many people out but the route/road up is fully packed. Up top in the alpine there is ~8cm of loose powder on a crust. On the ridge up to the main peak it was extremely wind swept with terrible coverage. The face down that is on the lee side and wind loaded. Far skiers left where the ridge is steeper and there is a cornice there has previously slid down to rock (looks spontaneous and old).
