It's still early. Lots of rocks, wildflowers, and summer surface. We noted some rider triggered dry loose avalanches on steep shady slopes and some evidence of storm related avalanche activity in Wolverine Cirque.

Snowpack

Snow on the shady aspects was dry with near surface faceting. Snow on the solars was melting quickly with free water running over the rocks.  Great for making snowballs.
