Re: trail conditions for Bear Peak/Green Mtn in Boulder?
This morning was my first time out on the trails since the storm, so I don't have a basis of comparison, but Green was okay - not great - this morning. Drifting in places. It took me 19 minutes longer than usual to summit ("running" it, Amphitheater / Greenman). That said, based on the above reports, it appears much improved since Thursday. Manageable without snowshoes.

Re: trail conditions for Bear Peak/Green Mtn in Boulder?
I hiked Bear and S. Boulder today, Fern Canyon up, Shadow canyon down. Both the canyons were packed and decent, little bit of ice in Fern as usual. I had to break trail for most of the trip from Bear over to S. Boulder, knee to waist deep drifts on the west side of Bear and most of the way up S. Boulder, I used snowshoes through the deep stuff.
I'm slower than Scott P.
