left the parking lot in snow flurries.  there was snow on the side walk and then the entire trail up to the snow line @ 7500 feet.  not quite enough snow to skin prior to 7500 feet.
about 1-3 inches of new on top of the frozen base.  in some areas there were modest drifts of 6 inches.  about 1/2 mile of visibilty the entire day.  snowed all day.  no wind.  great turns, while it snowed on the way out.
 our approach tracks were nearly filled in on the way out,
thats great news, thanks for sharing.

Sounds pretty sweet.  Wish I were there.
