I haven't been actually up there, but from Boulder they look quite dry, hardly any white to be seen! Saw this pic today which is very encouraging: http://instagram.com/p/wkNbo1n7Vp/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Rode some n facing terrain in IPW last weekend around 9500 to 10500 there was just enough coverage to ride low angle stuff and snowshoes are unnecessary anywhere there has been foot traffic.

They looked much whiter than last week as of this morning, but hard to tell how deep the new snow actually is from 30 miles away. Sounds like most of the area picked up in the ballpark of 6-12". Might be a few more this week, but guessing snowpack is still on the shallow side.
