I went for a quick pass through Clara Lake Basin, to see what this warm weather is doing to the snow, and sorry to report most everything I looked at was fairly cooked. There were some places in the deep north sides with shade that might be ok, but up through 6500 it will be crusted on any sun exposed slopes. I think it might be a day or two before the snow consolidated. I went through just after the warmest part of the day, so the snowmobile, snowshoe, and ski tracks were starting to set up into frozen death curbs.
