We played on some slopes around Jim Hill yesterday. Hit some south aspect first and shady 2nd. Words of the day were: variable and fun.
Depths in this profile varied based on wind transport, elevation, and aspect; but in general:
2 to 8" uncohesive new powder, over:
1.5 cm crust (sometimes supportive, sometimes carveable, sometimes absent), over:
4 to 6" facetting powder: cleared off Sat night apparently this far east of the crest, over:
supportive thick rain soaked layer. No reason to dig below this.
Sun warmed south aspect skied nicely down to 4500 then got deeper and mushy.
South side creamy Lauren Tom Southside snow conditions Skinnin' out Jake ascends Big C
Sought wind deposited snow on shady aspects to float on the thin crust.
Dodged many tree bombs and avy debris throughout the day.
Alpine Lakes Wilderness, WA Alpine Lakes Wilderness, WA Tom goes Tom goes Eric tom and typical slide debris Alpine Lakes Wilderness, WA Nice scene Getting down Almost down
Overall, great day to be out in them thar hills.

Beautiful shots. Do you ski through all those clearings visible in the middle photos on the way out?

Hi puzzlr,
