Hiked the summer trail on the way in - didn't start skinning until Source Lake basin, which is generally still snowed in with some patches of rock starting to pop out for those looking for turns. Other than one creek crossing there is continuous snow up to Great Scott Bowl. We climbed the Tooth, then had nice turns in the bowl. There is pollen, but it didn't seem much of an issue.
Opted to give the winter route a try on the way back. We had two longer carries but were able to ski the last half - though it wasn't a quality ski by any measure, but sure beat walking.
Other notes: saw some tracks on Shot 6 and Lower International - but you are hiking to the base of each to get there.
