Hoped to avoid rain crust in Snoqualmie Pass areas -- no such luck. Below 4000ft rain crust was too weak to stay on top of-- but strong enough to trap skis in longer than desired turn radii. Above 4000ft conditions were a mixed bag -- weaker rain crust, slabby fresh snow on the crust, pencil hard wind slab and a few small pockets of decent snow in the trees. Stayed on low angle ridgeline both up and down, so didn't dig a pit.
The forest on the lower slopes of Hex has been thinned -- looks promising for low angle turns -- once the crust and a few more stumps are buried.

So cover was good overall, save for the exposed stumps down low? I've not been up there for a bunch of years - a pal and I were just talking about heading up to see how the mountain has changed in the past bunch of years - e.g. if the clearcuts where there used to be lovely mature (skiable!) forest have seen their slash settle down enough to be nicer ski slopes, and what else has been cut (sound like the lower stuff...).
