Not to duplicate the info in the previous report, as it gives you all the ski beta. Snow is nicely consolidated on the south slope and it is perfect for any beginners looking to do a snow climb. Towards the top of the drainage the snow is starting to turn into ice from the freeze thaw cycles and traction is highly recommended. If you go early enough the snow will still be frozen and no flotation is required. County Road 18 is completely dry until about a mile below the Leavick site where it turns into 2 feet of snow. All and all beauty day in the mountains. Had the summit all to my self. Car to summit to car took 3hr 58min.
