Skied the SW Slopes. Started about 3/4 of a mile from the upper TH at about 5:45 snow was very patchy down low until getting above the cliffs and onto the SW slopes where it was pretty consistent until just before you top out and walk on the ridge over to the summit. Used crampons and ice axes on the snow. Topped out around 11am and skied perfect corn down. Lower sections back were a slog.
Pictures:
1 - looking down the slopes near 13k
2 - looking up
3 - 11/10 good doggos topping out
4 - a look back at the SW slopes before heading out
P.S. we wanted to ski the Massive Couloir/ West Slopes but it was pretty bare. S slopes are slimming out quickly
