I just drove back from Utah.  There is a decent amount of snow on the top of the mountain still on the north side.

Its disappearing quickly.  I haven't been over on the north side, but my son giving me the Snowbowl ski report says its not great right now.  You may very well run into patches, but I'd honestly be surprised if its a significant amount on that trail loop.  Ping me as you get closer to coming up and I'll check with some friends to see what its like over there on those trails.

You’ll probably still run into snow up there, especially on the north side. That area holds it pretty late.

After Easter it might be hit or miss depending on the year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s still patches or even decent coverage in the shade. I’d plan for it just in case.

Thank you last time i was there was in june a couple of years ago and there was quite a bit of snow when you go across to the saddle that connects with the waterline road but maybe with this hot weather will melt a little quicker.

Fox 10 had a good shot of the peaks from the east this am.  It looks like they lost a decent amount of snow in just a week from when I drove thru.  Guess that is what happens when it's 105+ in the valley in mid March

A couple of years ago, we got hammered with some big storms and a couple of late storms.  I'd plan for some snow on the north slope up by Waterline, but I'd really be surprised if there is anything too crazy.  The east and south facing slopes look completely dry except for the very top.
