I've just spent 2 nights at Bow Hut (May 28-30). There is still a lot of snow on the trail, starting at the 1st talus field half way up the canyon. Once out of the trees in the upper valley, it is possible to link snowless features to the back of the bowl. Deep postholing from there and across the creek towards the morraine. Snow bridges over the creek have collapsed and the creek is high. The summer trail up the morraine had too much deep snow, we stayed to the right, working a dry rib of horrible hard packed morraine, crampons useful, I short roped my only guest. Snow is unssuportive around the hut, knee to crotch deep. Once on the glacier it gets much better, supportive snow, ankle to boottop around 1pm. Good travel on top of the Onion.
We observed many avalanches off Vulture peak, large cornice failures off Vulture and Onion, some around St-Nicolas.
