We found typical cascade condtions at crystal, temps in the teens, sunshine and knee deep powder.  We skied the union creek side of the ridge a few times and south and north aspects of bullion basin.  The north aspect of the point south of bullion basin was a litle wind effected but still worth the effort.  We dug a pit on a north facing slope and found the layers (one at 15 inches another at 30 inches) fairly well bonded with no clean fracture planes.
