Outstanding corn up there today, top to bottom. A cool breeze kept things from getting sloppy. In many places, you could pick up a handful of "snow" and it looked like a mass of small pebbles. Bootpacking appeared to be MUCH faster than skinning, so that's what I did.
There are far more crevasses visible than two weeks ago, including one long one with a glissade track going right over it! Great day.

Thanks for the beta, Andyski - went up on Sunday and had similar conditions. Snout was the best I've skied - perrrfect corn on hardpack.
