Snow is continuous from around 7,300 feet. The skiing was superb right from camp on down to around 8,000 feet! I found the skiers right side to be a little less tracked. If conditions are anything like they were today, those bumps and wavy features you see on the way up should not faze you on the way down. I had anticipated it to be a lot more more of an uneven ski down, but conditions softened up nicely without it becoming too mushy.

Well worth wading through the swamp for! It felt more like June up there. Bring your shorts and sunscreen.
