Oh, my.  Legendary weather and had the place practically to ourselves.  Only saw 4 folks from Vancouver, BC on Sunday once we got past Table Mtn and 2 guys from Vancouver on Monday.  Kicked off lots of wet surface sluffs, saw a few cornices which had broken loose and started larger slides.  Snow is still on its way to corn -- was glad I was skiing plastic boots as the snow needed some pushing, but once one calibrated to the conditions, very nice.  Shuksan is such an amazingly beautiful mountain, just a really gorgeous time in the N. Cascades.
