I took a look-and-see attitude on the weather. By 11 am the pass DOT camera was promising. On my arrival there were large numbers of helmeted post-holers exiting the slopes, probably a Mountaineers climbing class. I saw only one other skier (more on him below). I climbed to the top by starting under the left chair (Debbie's) and took a run down the same way. Then I repeated the climb and skied International. The snow was better than yesterday on Hawkins as it was more consolidated and stable, but it was still heavy skiing. It may be worth doing for another week or two, but take solvent/rag to clean your bases after/during each run. (Just what is that black gloop anyways?) I watched my single companion on the slopes jump the cornice/cliff at the top, twice no less (I would estimate a 60' free fall). Wow!
