Skied Sahale yesterday.  Road gated at Eldorado TH (wtf is that all about?).  Anyway, that was annoying since the road is in great condition to beyond the 2nd gate.  More snow than I expected in the basin below Cascade Pass, but it was a combination of rock-hard frozen to densely packed pockets of powder.  Low freezing levels kept entire arm and the glacier firm.  There were some areas of wind deposited powder, but that was short lived.  Road situation may make it more effort than it's worth for some.
What's the condition of the summit area? Is much rock exposed?

Yes, some rock is exposed.  Looks more like April/May.

Nice, Dave!

I bring rollerblades for the road.


That's a great idea Drew.  Light on the uphill, and fast on the down. haha
