 Black Pond Herd Path dry and trivially followed.  Crossings were not a problem today.  Slide was mostly dry for the first 2/3s and the last 1/3 had water running down it.  Real snow/monorail appeared above "The Rock" at the top of the slide, and continued intermittently to the summit.  Came down via the skidder bushwhack (now also a very clear herd path) which was also entirely snow and ice free.
