Dolly Varden beta

Looking for beta on the Dolly Varden Gully up Mt. Bross, couldn't find a lot of info digging through the site.
My impression is that this gully holds snow well mostly from wind deposition, which is why it doesn't melt out like the rest of Bross, which seems to be almost always bare of snow. I know it's been a very low-snow year, but it seems to be picking up out there and I'm curious about this gully's ski potential right now. Seems like most people do this as more of an early-spring ski, but would it be alright in winter? It seems likely to me that there isn't all that much snow (and definitely not to the summit of Bross), but if Quandary is (barely) skiable right now it doesn't seem like a huge logical jump that this gully might be in. Any info/thoughts? Thanks in advance.
