Details
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 proper or summit. Ascended Pacific west ridge and descended Atlantic west ridge. Used the snowfield leaving the ridge on the descent for a nice, short glissade 4WD drive to Boston mines is open; road was easy/moderate for a stock jeep wrangler.
