The first 200 feet was hardened wind slab. Tough going especially considering our legs were pretty shot.
After the first roll over, however, we found May powder! The snow was perfect for the next 1000 feet or so:

We made our way into the trees. The snow had become a perfect corn at this point, the riding still excellent:
As we got lower and lower the snow turned to mush. I was amazed at how far we were able to ride. The snow pack has been amazing in Utah this year and this northeast facing bowl was really blown in. Regardless, it is May, so the snow had to suffer at some point.
