Snow was continuous in the woods starting a bit before Chipmunk Lake, and while there was an old bootpack, there was still plenty of wretched postholing in the trees. Blitzen was snow-free where it mattered, and the traverse over to Chiquita and Chapin was mostly scoured clean. There was a bit of thigh-deep postholing descending to Chapin Pass and the Falls Creek Road, but the road itself was plowed to above the pass. Photos (click for slideshow):
