Condition Update

Snow in the trees, then otherwise mostly clear. Any snow above treeline is either avoidable or about 5 feet across. Start early! The snow in the trees goes for 1/4-1/2mile, and even at 11AM you'll be postholing (ask me how I know...). If you do end up with a late start, avoid willows like the plague on the way down. They're like posthole markers right now. Oh, and there are still a few cornices to avoid. You'll have lots of space, so it won't be an issue if you're paying attention.

How does the ridge to Hoosier Ridge and beyond look?

I attached a couple of photos (taken from my phone -- sorry for low quality). It's melting quickly. I'd say that there was more snow over there than on the North Spur immediate route, but Hoosier Ridge looked to have some dry spots (especially on the east-facing aspects).
