We skied DT via skiers right entrance on 3/21 and it was perfect. Coverage from top to bottom.

Skied Dragon's Tooth (next couloir over) 3/28 and there were several points where we had to take off our skis including a short down climb.

cool, thanks for the info. were you able to scope out DT at all from your vantage point at the base of the tooth?

On both occasions we skinned up Flattop and dropped in from above. By 10am the snow softened up nicely and we had no issues. We didn't do any scouting from below.

On Saturday DT looked as good as ever. There were several parties that came down both from the top and boot packed up to the squeeze.

Not sure if that answered your question?
