Checked out Black Prince earlier today. Lower down snow is pretty thin with quite a few bushes and small trees still poking through. There's just barely enough snow in the creek to skin up that way. Just below treeline there are pockets of good snow where we snuck in a few decent turns, but scattered throughout the slope there's a variable, breakable crust. The very top is thin and rocky, wouldn't recommend going that high. The gulley to lookers left looked wind affected and showed some pin wheeling. At the start of the day it was around -15 at the parking lot, and -5 by 2 PM. Snow was wet and heavy when we skied out.
