Hiked 7am to 11:30. Made the summit in 2hrs-10. The trail to Horse Camp is in good shape. Snow begins around 3,250’. From that point is solid snow in all but a few spots.
I kicked the snow bridge down where it crosses the creek. Just take careful steps. Also take careful steps anywhere you walk close to obvious meltouts.
the snow was a mix of soft and firm. Softer as the morning warmed. A couple spots on the final summit push are melted, as well as the summit block.
be prepared for snow travel. The boot path in snow is not always immediately obvious but as more people travel and the weather warms it should get beat down again.
