Could ski from the parking lot, although I suspect that won't last more than another day or 2, becoming short bare spots around a few stream crossings.
I was late in the day and didnt want to venture onto steep solar slopes so I played on the benign blues up to campbell lodge. Despite the late hour(~430pm) creamy goodness was had in the packed-down resort slopes 6200 - 5000 feet. Below that was poor sticky snow. I saw no active slides(300-430pm) but there was some debris from recent small point releases on steeper stuff and there are still some cornices hanging to the south.
