Winter is still lurking at Flapjack Lakes!
Most of the trail is great. The big Cedar Tree is still an obstacle on the way up with a pretty easy re-route. There is one tree across the trail before Madeline and three more between Madeline and Donahue. Not tremendously difficult but I do wish my legs were longer and not sure I would like to go over them will a full backpack.
Snow begins a bit after the Black and White Lakes junction. There is a lot of melting happening underneath the snow and much caution should be taken.
I will include pictures at the lake. Still snow covering pretty much everywhere. Backpackers might want to give it more time to melt out.

I see the snow and it looks a bit patchy in the photos, did you see any dry land spots you could sneak a tent in?
