From the winter closure the road is still mostly snow covered. It was firm in the morning but soft on the return. Left the road near the summer trailhead and headed for the White Ridge Saddle. There are several possible lines to same place. I was on snowshoes but the majority were on skis or split boards. This route avoids the cornice on the Sheridan saddle. It also avoids the South West Ridge. One party I spoke to told me the SW Ridge is still holding a lot a snow and they found it sketchy enough to bail off the side. Sherman is still holding a lot snow!
