Kelso ridge is snow-free except for two spots. One is a gully just before the knife edge (photo 28 in the route description I think) -- if you make your way to the right side of the ridge here, there are a few alternative scrambling routes which can be used. The other is just after the white rock; this is about a 15 foot patch of snow which has good steps kicked in. My brother used his trekking poles here, but I did not.

The shortcut from Torreys down to the standard trail has a large but not exposed or steep snow crossing. There is a glissade route carved into it about halfway through, but be sure to secure all your belongings if you use it because the guy in front of us lost his phone.
