Aasgard Pass is in great condition -- almost snow free. We did the traverse from Colchuck to Snow Lakes TH (thanks to hiker Andrea for ride back to car!)
All in all..an amazing & beautiful trip.
Warning! I was eaten alive on this trip. If you are sweet like me (or whatever it is that makes one beloved by mosquitos) bring DEET! my whimpy bug spray did not deter the aggressive mosquitos. On Aasgard alone, I got over 10 bites. The Sprite - Perfection Lakes areas were also extremely buggy. Few things can diminish the joy of a post-Aasgard beer, but the swarm of mosquitos did their best.
Besides that...spectacular. Enjoy your permit!
