The trench is in, sort of. Variable snow conditions yesterday include the occasional posthole to 16 inches. In the morning the snow below treeline was mostly supportive (in snowshoes) and above treeline there were many longer sections of continuous postholing of 4-8 inches. I left the summit at 11:45 and was back at the car at the lower 2WD TH by 2:00. My phone died so no pics on the descent but I observed many rollerballs and point releases on steeper terrain, and the snow was getting very wet and sloppy. GO GET SOME!
