There is still a good boot/skip pack through most of the woods (2600-4500') but gaps are appearing. Ridges and valleys below 7500 feet have a lot of exposed rock. Above 7000' is knobby rime ice and shallow crusty wind scoured snow over hard ice. No skiers out. The inner 4-6' of the rim cornice is slumping into the crater.

Wind scoured snow, rocks, and rime at 5800'

The outer 5' of cornice slumping into the crater at 8250'
