Just a a couple of pictures to go along with Andrew's (aholle88) conditions report. It is possible to skin/ski an almost continuous line from car to summit and back. We took off our skies for a short section along the road and then just before accessing the ridge (seen at the center of the first picture). The snow here was pretty thin and hard-packed. We didn't see much evidence of someone else having been there the day before, and winds were really picking up on our descent. Fortunately for us, we never found any of that waist-deep snow he was referring to.
