Trail has patches of snow well below the creek footbridge crossing, some even continuous and long enough to ski/skin.  This won't last long, though.  Above the footbridge, there is plenty of snow.  Above 8000, a nice coat of new made skinning and skiing delight.  Blue sky in the morning deteriorated after lunch, with snow flurry around Whitman Crest and drizzle below that.  Little Tahoma looked pristine again.
