Skinned up Meadow Mainline and then through cut blocks and up to the summit via the south face. Widespread surface hoar from treeline to alpine. No instabilities noted and no wind slab observed. Skiing from ~1500m to the trees at 900m was not bad with the surface hoar acting as a "dust on crust". Above 1500m the ridge was heavily wind scoured with rime bumps formed everywhere. The trees presented an angled skating rink making for a tricky descent and ascent.
