Beautiful day with very sparse people on the hill. 10-15" of medium density snow on top of a soft, smooth base. Moderate storm sluff. Turns off the King into Silver Basin were a highlight.
Found the same on East Peak yesterday. Solar aspects held creamy safe stuff, minor sluff from cross/wind loading down low, nearer to the nose. Got it before the rains! 

Great name, btw. Thanks for the post, and welcome!
