Almost no snow all the way to Thirteenmile mtn from the highway, but near the top there were a couple snowfields to cross.
After Thirteenmile the snow varies but is consistently about 1/2 ft deep, deeper in places; went ~11 miles from the highway and turned around as I was approaching the bear pot trail junction - harder going in the snow.
I didn't see tics this year but did here last year - evidently the folks who backpacked (who I did see) took care of them.
