Has anyone been up recently? Any technical snow sections along the ridge, near the top?

Best to check the trip reports for beta on specific routs. Bierstadt last weekend was clean lest for a few scattered snow patches and boggier than usual (if that's possible LOL).

I Personally haven't been up there yet this season....But, I see it from my house everyday.......The east side is DEFINITELY socked in, but the west side is snow free....The dry and snow sides meet just at the ridge crest, it "appears" to be doable by staying just west of the ridge crest

(As said, this is just from looking up from Dillon/Frisco)

Skied it a few weeks ago. The ridge was essentially dry except for thr final 40 feet. You should be fine. There was a booter in with deep foot holds. By now though its probably melted out.
