Independence to Million Dollar Basin and Monument Pk

18 inches of powder at the East Fork Divide. Overall, found about 4 feet of snow. Rocks lurking slightly under the snow surface in some areas. Base was pretty solid - a surprise. There is a faceted layer at the bottom but the snowpack was pretty consolidated and fun to ride with good traction. Did not see any fissures or cracks in slope and dust feel any collapsing slabs during the ride.
