North star is in pretty fun shape right now. We brought snowshoes for the area between the road and the ridge, it was nice to have but if you don't have snowshoes you could still make it. Snowshoes not needed on the ridge. Very little ice on the ridge but some soft snow is the only issue so some postholing. Area does not look worth skiing right now, a lot of crust and facets... And still shallow. Photos (click for slideshow):
