All trails skiable, although bottom of Harvest/Pinos loop browned out over the final 50 yards. Excellent cover on Condor Summit Road all the way to the top. Cover on south aspects thinning and some shrub/rocks showing; cover on north aspects better. Skiable cover on Microwave and John's run, although shrubs in places. Deepest snowpack in shady woods such as blue trail to Inspiration Point, and also Outback and Harvest trails.
