Snow Lake is still frozen and the winter route from Source Lake is mostly snow, but it's melting out rapidly. So it's now or never for this route. Moscowolf, TomB, Chris and I headed up International and then took the High T over to Bryant Col. The snow was slow on the High T so not sure this was faster than out through Source Lake but it was nice to get the climbing out of the way. Skied off the summit of Kaleetan but that line will probably be bare within a week. Had a spicy decent down the NE face of Kaleetan to Melakwa Pass with some cliff exposure. Took the drainage down from Chair Peak Lake, which led to a fun face just left of a charging waterfall. Slough was moving, especially on south facing slopes, but I think the big stuff has already come down.

Nice shots of the waterfall run - they give a good feel for what it's like (except for how you can't quite see if the snow is continuous until you drop/traverse to right above the falls, IIRC).
