We hiked Goose Creek on Sunday and didn't see a speck of snow anywhere, even on the north sides of the 11K-ish mountains. I suspect you'll have no problems, especially after another week of warm weather.

I hiked both from the Ute Creek TH on Tuesday. On trail, I encountered no snow and one or two short muddy patches. McCurdy was dry, and there were a couple of small and easily avoidable snow fields near the summit of Bison.

This past Tuesday I went up to the lost park trail where it intersects with hankins pass. McCurdy was snow free.
