I can see Pikes Peak pretty clearly from my house and can view the exposed Barr Trail with a 100+-power scope. The trail does have some snow (and presumably ice) on it but the grade is not bad and the weather looks good. I have no idea how the lower Barr trail is doing. If you go, bring extra caution, yak-trax or crampons, a pole, and some extra time. Check the weather, too.
Last Sunday, i flew over the area and could see that the 14‘ers in the Sangres and Wasatch were pretty snowed in, and Pikes was clear, but we have had some snow since then.
If you stay at Barr Camp, bring some goodies for the hut staff.
