We skied up Bowman Fork to Cabin Run then across to Alexander Basin and down Alexander (Toots to Boot)

Wow, I don't remember such a faceted, thin snowpack for this date for quite a few years. 

The walk in down low had quite a few bare patches, as expected.  Almost no snow on any of the south facing slopes up to around 9,000'.  Once you get above about 8,500' on the north facing slopes, I was pleasantly surprised by the good riding conditions in bottomless, faceted snow about 1.5 feet deep.  Especially if you pick your line, you can do surprisingly well.  The soft, recrystallized snow remains good and very faceted down to the Mill Creek road, which is around 7,000'  The exit to the road was not nearly as bony as we imagined it would be.

Although there is Low hazard today, obviously, the next time we get significant snow it's going to be ugly.  Pretty much everything that is white now will be very dangerous.  It has been about a week since I was last in the mountains (catching up on office projects) so I was shocked at how much the snow has completely rotted away.  It has also expanded in aspects as well.  Many of the west facing slopes are now rotted while before they were not as bad.  Anyway, the snowpack is a mess and we're in for a horrible depth hoar year unless we get saved by a huge rainstorm or something.
