Thanks for the info. A few ?s- did you go to the summit? If so, how were crevasses? How's the consolidation lower? Thanks.

I did visit the summit, but I left my skis at about 9,700 feet. Snow was consolidated very well on the glacier in the morning and softened enough for easy skiing in the afternoon. A few large crevasses were open but easily avoided.
