No pics looking towards Atlantic, but the V-couloir still looked to be continuous down to the basin on my climb today of Quandarty's Inwood Arête. McCullough Gulch is pretty dry though

Was just up there last Monday. There wasn't continuous snow in any north facing couloir, highly doubt anything on the east side is in. The snow at the bottom of the fields was mush, near the ridge they were rock hard. That was at 11am on a sunny, warm day.

A few pics of the Gulch (pretty darn dry and sparse snow), though I'm still somewhat certain you could ski the V-Coolie on Atlantic (you just may be hauling your skis on your back all the way to Atlantic's east face and apron):
