Road is in good shape (4WDHC) to the top, with minimal snow. Lots of parties out. Skis on 5 min from upper trailhead. Snow at the meadows is minimal and lots of creek crossings. Above 1600 m it turned into 30cm heavy powder which skied pretty well, with some wind crust near ridges. Below 1600 m breakable crust, survival skiing. We didn't probe, we did not hit any rocks and snow depth increased quickly above 1600 m. Evidence of wet slides to size 1.5 on sunny aspects.
