At the risk of excessive reporting (given that there was a Tuning Fork update just 2 days ago), I'm still including this as skier-specific info. The Fork is still indeed quite skiable, and as the previous report mentions, the climber's left fork connects to the summit ridge of Torrey's, while climber's right stops maybe 100-150' shy of it, with a bit of loose class 2+ or so rock in between. We car-camped just below the mud pit, and started hiking around 6 AM, summitting around 9:30. Had to wait about an hour for the snow to get soft enough for comfortable skiing. That said, we (actually!) had a solid freeze last night evidenced by thick frost buildup on the car in the morning. The snow going up was quite firm and icy for most of the ascent, and we were pretty happy to have crampons at that time in the morning. We climbed the left fork, which is more direct and has a good boot pack starting about halfway up. This fork is a bit steeper and narrower in a few sections, and the very top is getting pretty thin and rocky - guessing it doesn't have too many days left. All in all, amazing conditions for almost July.
Oh, the stream crossing. I don't know...maybe there's a way to do it without getting your feet wet. I honestly wouldn't think too hard about it, just bring a light extra pair of shoes and socks and cross it right below the TF. It's a simple crossing, and going this way allows you to follow the remnants of the road most of the time instead of shwacking through the willows, greatly speeding up the approach time. Just my $0.02.
