Basically the same as the previous report, and a fun day of skiing. Unbroken snow from 11,000 to just under the summit, but the wider area around 12,500 will probably quickly melt out in a few spots. I was able to ski from just below the summit down to about 11,500, but the snow got too crappy/rocky after that. I saw 10+ people on the trail today, so not exactly super isolated. Pic 1 - The crappy snow at the bottom of the gully near 11k Pic 2 - Looking up at the steeper basin from around 12,500' Pic 3 - Looking north to French and Casco (fellow Cents) Pic 4 - Looking south over highway 82 Photos (click for slideshow):
