Good snow found despite very warm temperatures. Great glissade off the summit of Ruth. Snow bridge over Interglacier Fork easily available above Glacier Basin.
Great day, amazing views, strong team. Easy parking early in the day. Only challenge was the road construction on Hwy 410 in the USFS part, which necessitated a 40 minute stop and go drive to get beyond.
