At the 4th sketchy snow chute crossing at about 4200' (using good mountaineering boots to kick steps, and an ice axe to probe the snow ahead) I decided to turn back. The snow chutes are melting out fast though, with big gaping holes showing in a couple of them. The trail looks to have been been maintained recently up to about 3800'. After that there is occasional deadfall. In 2-3 more weeks this trail should be fine, especially with the temps we've been getting. I still had beautiful views of Bandera, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and Kent mountains.
