The snow reaches back to the edge of the observation overlook.
It was a warm day out, but a nice walk up to the snowfield. There was one small section where runoff was running down the path, but it was easily avoided by walking on the logs that formed the edge of the walkway.
The snow reached back to the observation area; definitely more than I have seen before.
The primary caves hadn't formed yet, but there were a smaller set off to the side. Reaching this area required scaling the large mound off to the side of the observation area or crossing the snowfield.

The primary ice caves haven't formed, but off to the site there are some decent ones.

It was a warm day out and WhiteDog is enjoying the cool snow.
