Winds above treeline in the Old Ski Bowl were continuous and blowing at moderate speeds. Snow was being transported but none was collecting. It was mostly sublimating or being blown down below treeline. The snow surfaces were firm and littered with large sustrugis. The melt-freeze cycle has not set in yet. Expect firm, crusty conditions. No avalanche concerns were encountered.
