Vail Pass area snow report
We have a reservation for Chucks Cabin November 30-December 1 and were climbing Shrine Mountain and the Wingle Ridge. When booked, it was expected to be a snowshoe, but I assume that there's not much snow around in the area?
I'm slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

You can cache the snowshoes at home for this one.

I would not worry about snow in that area at all. Be prepared for changing conditions in regards to temperature and wind though.

Packing list: Trail shoes and lots of sunscreen.
I can report that the trail running is great up there right now and the forecast is calling for continued melting of the few remaining snow patches.

Is it starting to look like March is the new January?
It looks like the ridge is just right up there!

More like December is the new July.

Re: Vail Pass area snow report
I did Uneva about a week ago and it hasn't snowed since. Other than gaitors I didn't use anything else (microspikes, snowshoes, etc). The trail is well packed down lower then I caught a slope with a bit of a south aspect - the snow was 0-3 inches on the slope. You might be able to find a drift or two but for the most part you won't see anything more than about 6 inches.
