Trail is mostly dry from the TH with a few light snow patches in the trees. Above tree line to the shelf at 12,400 is bare and dry. Above 12,400 the trail is snow covered to a depth of 5 or 6 inches. Some wind-blown spots are deeper. Trail is hard to see above about 13,000. (I used micro spikes). There is a pretty well defined direct ascent route that has been stamped in the snow by several people. Enough snow to glissade down in a few spots.
There is no water where I camped at 12,400. Plenty of snow to melt though.
