Windless blue skies and 4-6" fresh snow on a firm base above 7000' the past two days with very little wind affect.  Quite chilly above 8500', maybe we are not yet acclimatized to winter temperatures.  The fog rose both afternoons to around 8000' making route finding more challenging on the descent.  Nisqually chute was smooth, scratchy before noon on the 10th, softer after 1PM.  The main gully below 7000' is not filled in, be sure to traverse left before the walls get too steep.
