Pikes Peak

I apologize if there is another post buried somewhere about the conditions of Pikes right now, but does anyone know what the East Slopes/standard route are like right now? We'd like to start from Manitou and complete the 13 - mile Barr Trail route again.

Another good dusting last night so route finding might be difficult above tree line. Definitely need spikes and gaiters, expect some potholing for the next few days...
