Mount Ellis is skiing ok. The snow pack is sketchy near the saddle with "whoomping" and collapsing. Once in the trees the snow was great but coverage was thin. You can ski to the car.
After hearing Loren rave the other day I had to go.
3/6/08 the powder was great. I skinned up the north ridge but people have been skinning up on the south side as well.
It has been getting warm and will probably get crusty soon, get it while the gettings good.
nice powder
