Visibility was too poor to see previous avalanches and we didn't have any collapsing or cracking.
After making it up the near impassable road in the Forester, we toured from the Independence Parking lot to the ridge below the first bench of Microdot. The visibility was poor, but the skiing was great on low consequence terrain. I wasn’t able to see most of Microdot or Marmot to see if there were any fresh avalanches.

Plenty of new snow.
