Climb up Bierstadt (standard route) is completely dry for the most part - maybe 10 ft of snow on the route up and a little more on the summit. Watch out for deep postholing on the snow at the summit, especially above the south face.

Sawtooth is in great shape - no snow on the route at all. Crossing over the rockslide gully to the top of the rock face on the ramp around sawtooth has snow above it which makes it wet and loose though.

Ridge from Sawtooth to Evans has no snow until right at the Evans summit and you can get around it with a 20 ft detour. Plateau between West (fakeout) Evans and the gully has 2 big snow patches but the deepest I postholed on them was about 18".
