Quick report
All in all, a lovely day to be out in the sun despite the lack of snow circumstances. We took advantage of excellent visibility to reach a spot where we could see a wide range of terrain. Road conditions further south in the East Central zone seem to be slightly better overall than areas around Leavenworth and northward.

A gorgeous day to be out for a hike. A few high clouds hovered but the sun shone strong. The truck read 38 degrees, where we parked at 4900 ft and temps increased as the day progressed. There was little to no wind.
Snowpack
We walked over a few patches of old snow starting around 5400 ft. The only other snowpack information I gathered was from a distance. Views to the north showed a distinct snowline beginning around 6000 ft, but it doesn't look like very continuous snow starts until closer to 6500 ft. I believe this is the case for both northerly and southerly aspects.
Avalanche
I didn't glass any avalanches through the scope but the peaks I was looking at were very far away.
