This is my first TR, i will post a report each month for the rest of this year as I'm going for my first TAY.
Started driving from PA at 2 pm, arrived at trail at 2:30.
Boot pack to Victor Pass, no need for skins. Time up, 1hr 30min.
Did 2 runs down north side, 1000' each, could have descended an additional 700' but was pressed for time.
The snow on this side was fast and smooth corn. Lots of coverage in this bowl. We will be skiing this into July.
Descended south side back to car at 6, 1200'.
The snow was a little sticky in places and kinda mushy, but still good turning.
We were able to ski to the car without removing our skies but had a 10' dirt crossing, we cut to the creek to early on our descent. I think there is still a line to the car without any dirt in the way. But not for long.
It was a great afternoon. All peaks were visible with the valleys covered in fog.
Sorry, no pics this time.
Welcome, to TAY, T!  There's getting to be a pretty active Olympic contingent reporting in now.  I grew up over there, and miss those peaks and valleys.  Maybe I can get over and ski that ridge with you before it's done for the year.

Good luck on your first year.  Well begun is halfway done.
