Mostly treeless with short growth mixed in.It's not "bowls" as you put it.It's called the snowfields.I've had the best snow in March.

Not sure if you are talking about the snowfields or looking more into some back country? You should check out the Sugarloaf forum at Sugarloaftoday.com and also check out K2trav.com.

The only post I could find, sounds like conditions need to be just right and you are in for a long hike either back up or around on the AT. Stick to the lift served snow fields. Burnt Mountain is supposed to have some nice bc tree skiing if you want to earn your turns up there.
