The heat wave and the southern facing side of North Mountain on the Out of the Blue trail, made for a snow free climb on its access road and a hero descent on the lower segments. There is still a tree to cut across the third lowest segment still but I cut several branches off so you can at least get through under it. I got to the end of the road and climbed a little further as an out-and-back until the climb became too techie with wet roots and rock. I saw no signs of snow higher through the trees so I'm guessing 3000' is the current snow line on the trail.
GPS track and pics are here.
