As of last Mon: Over two ft of snow starting at the Pking lot (not plowed). Snow turns to mush after only 1/2 hr of sun. Cornices were dropping all over the place.

 

EW Spires, though, good to go as is all of "Liberty Bell"

 

Some small patches of snow melting and getting N face routes damp.

 

Not great skiing, but better than walking.

 

Enough traffic to forgo skis/slowshoes.

Awesome conditions on the route. Small amounts of snow in the chimney but otherwise dry and clear. We where able to glissade almost everything with enough grade.

 

Get this one early in the season. It's ready.
