conditions in enchantments

[jbuckmaster]

I am thinking about a trip to the enchantments before the permits start. So from about the 1st of June - 15th. What are the conditions of the routes like then. Is most of the snow melted by then? Also if we have to end up getting a permit what areas does the permit include ( or what areas can we camp around there that we won't need a permit for) for example Colchuck, Snow lake, Stuart area etc. Thanks a lot.

it looked sweet, albiet still quite snowy, from the air yesterday as I flew over. Prussik looked snowfree, but what can one really tell from 20,000'?
