Got up there with BigRed and M.
Boot packed the final 500' to the summit.
Gorgeous scenery up top- quite a crowd there as well: 3-4 groups. Started to be slightly cloudy later, which was a bummer because the south-westerly facing descent from the summit never got the UVs it needed and was hard granular snow- bordering on ice. Not the delicious corn that was hoped for. The lower sections that were more south and east facing were great.

I skied the south facing couloir on Lundin just before noon. I saw some people decending Red while others were going up.
Similar snow conditions on Lundin as you described on Red. I thought it was just to early in the day for corn, but perhaps it just didn't get warm enough with that wind.
It was still a beautiful day to be in the mtns.
