Perfect beautiful day with nearly 4000' of smoooooth butter turns  8).  Interesting that no slush or sticky porridge as described on the nearby Interglacier was felt; last 800' or so had suncups, but were soft. 

Trail is good with intermittent snow from 4500', mostly continuous from 4800', but not really worth it (to me) to skin until creek bridge.  The walk out is long, but right now worth the super smooth conditions.
Few pics of the day/conditions.

That last photo... omg.

Yes!  Thanks for the heads-up.

I know it's redundant but that last photo.....................

ditto ditto that pic!
