Snow free until 1/5 mile above the horse camp. Snow steadly increases until the top. Not many people have gone up, trail was marked by orange flags but the snow was firm and did not require snow shoes, crampon's would have been nice in a few places but not required. There was fresh snow in the trees from the previous night which was still settling to the ground here and there. Not the clearest day with the high clouds but you could see Mt. Ellinor and Washingotn. As a note, with the snow line where it is I suspect the supper trail head for Mt. Ellinor and Jefferson Pass is still accessible by 4x4.
