Approach Conditions for Conness West Ridge / North Peak Area

Has anyone been in the Saddlebag Lake region who can tell me the conditions for approaching the Conness West and North ridges, and North Peak? Thanks in advance!

Fair bit of snow on the approach two weeks ago but nothing too annoying, definitely take light crampons or microspikes - Im sure its melting out rapidly. Gully to west ridge looked dry. Traditional descent back to sawmill campground is still a fairly steep snow couloir but can be desccended with a bit of alpineering. The descent off to the south probably is more mellow and melted out. 

Thank you, Nate!

I did the descent from East Ridge yesterday afternoon. I skied down a few snowpatches with my hiking shoes -- lots of fun! Snow will not be a problem for you, but route finding might. I am not sure what the hell I went up, but it wasn't the same way I came down.

Chris, did you happen to notice if the water taxi boat was running?  I heard the lodge wasn't going to open this year.

I am not sure. We approached from Sawmill CG instead of Saddlebag. 

Can anyone comment on the condition of the North Face North Couloir up to North Peak?

There's a condition report from about a month ago on the MP page:

I know it's not too recent...
