Re: Flattop and Hallett
I am planning to go up there tomorrow, so I will be able to post some conditions tomorrow evening if no one else does
Re: Flattop and Hallett
Descended both recently - patchy, well packed snow around 10.5-11k and up on the Flattop trail.

Re: Flattop and Hallett
Like Monster5 said, there are quite a few deep, but packed, snowdrifts on the trail until you get out of treeline. I didn't posthole much at all, even when descending around high noon. At the hitching post there is the usual large snowfield to go up and then it is mostly dry to Hallett and Otis Peaks. Things are melting very fast and there is a lot of water on the trail. I suspect there won't be much snow left by next weekend.
