Went for a moon-lit Red Heather run on Wednesday (reported late). Was significant powder / unconsolidated snow on the meadows (not measured, ski penetration on the meadows probably 5-10cm). We only skied mellow slopes (incline <25 deg), and there was no signs of disturbance or other concerns. The road had been very well trodden and hard packed, including past the hut. Trailhead parking was plowed.
