I've been watching the Continental DIvide Trail map on postholer.com, and it appears that the Winds had close to normal snow levels this year, for the first time in quite a few years.

I presume it will all be melted out by the time I get there about August 11.

When I was growing up (1940's/1950's) the higher country generally wasn't fully accessible until about July 15. That was true even though there were a number of drought years in the 1950's. I remember one year (I think it was 1957 but can't swear to it) that it wasn't accessible until August.
