Toured from North Ogden Pass to Chilly peak and down to North Fork. Surprised to find decent skiing from 9000-7500 on the north slopes with semi dry snow on the sheltered slopes. (see photo) Below 7500ft. slopes turned sloppy after noon. Roller balls in the video. Also wet sluffs coming off of the rocks on the south and east slopes in the afternoon.
