A couple snowfields early in the basin; solid in the morning, but postholing 3+ft on the way down (but maybe 10 minutes max, no need for snowshoes). No snow on the ridge or summit; ridge was FANTASTIC solid class 3 fun with maybe a class 4 option if you want it. We made the ridge a little more spicy than it needed to be because it felt solid and comfortable. A new favorite for sure 4WD drive to Boston mines is open; road was easy/moderate for a stock jeep wrangler. Descended via traverse to Atlantic.
