Recent Snow
Has anyone been into RMNP yesterday or today? Plans on a few hikes around 11000 tomorrow but wondering if anyone can provide a recent snow condition report. Twin Sisters/Cone/Longs area specifically. CAIC Showed Moderate, but the "Front Range" is quite diverse. Thanks and if this should be in another forum area please advise.

Re: Recent Snow
Well this may be too late for your plans but,
I did Twin Sisters on Friday. The trail up was hard packed snow. I didn't use my snowshoes but my yaktrax instead (which finally broke...time for some microspikes). The summits are basically snow free, with a few drifts in the saddles. I hasn't snowed much there in the last week or so.
My wife and I hiked to Chipmunk and Ypsilon Lakes yesterday, and with an off-trail route to return. Trails were packed, with minimal new snow.
