The snow was rough in places due to last week's east wind and a little inconsistent. It was pretty solid up high, with decent, gradually softening "corn snow" conditions on northeast-facing slopes. As we got lower, in the early afternoon, the snow became very soft, unsupportable, and slushy. We were able to initiate small wet slides on sunny lower-elevation slopes as we descended the summer trail. There were a couple of places where you had to take the skis off to cross the rocks and mud where snow is rapidly melting off the summer trail.
