Zao Snow Monsters in late March – how dense are they really?

Hi all,
I’m planning to visit Zao Onsen / Zao Ropeway in late March (around Mar 24–26) and wanted an honest take on the snow monster (juhyo) conditions at that time.

I understand this is late season, so my expectations are realistic. Specifically, I’d like to know:

• Are the snow monsters still dense and recognizable, or mostly melted / skeletal by then?
• Does the area still have that “forest of monsters” look, or is it more patchy?
• In your experience, is late March still visually impressive, or would you say the juhyo experience is largely over by then?
• If you’ve been in both Feb and late March, how big is the difference visually?

Not looking for perfect peak conditions — just trying to decide if it’s still worth the detour, or if expectations should be very low.

Thanks in advance for any firsthand experiences or photos from late March visits.
