Comments
Comments: Just a few short sporadic sections of snow climbing out of the Zealand/Guyot Col on the Twinway before treeline, no issue at all, and will be gone in a few days. Summer conditions from here on out.

All trails are in decent shape, some mud and standing water, and a couple of stepover blowdowns along the route, but nothing that stuck out that I can remember.

Great day for a Z-Bonds Traverse, with a nice breeze and cool but comfortable temps above treeline and pleasant down low.
