Hiked up trail to 3200ft. Skinned and booted up to summit. Skied the west drainage from the summit. Fairly slushy between 5500-6000ft. Better snow down to 4400ft. This run will be better after a good freeze. The shady area below Headlee Pass provided good corn, requiring tight turns.
How were the creek crossings near the bottom?
Creek crossings were not a problem. Some logs have been well placed to make the major creek crossing easier. I found it a little difficult staying on the trail. We had to back track a short distance to find the proper route and this crossing.
