Anyone have any beta on where there is still snow, interested to know but probably not hiking more then 4 or 5 miles. Not interested in st. Mary's. Thanks!

You can always find snow in RMNP - Andrew’s Glacier, Tyndall Glacier

If you wait a few weeks, we start getting snow dustings and above treeline overnight freezes around the end of August. I have hiked Labor Day weekends on snow crusts. Last year Denver had its first snow September 8. Then its time to carry traction in your pack.

Are you looking for enough to climb and/or slide on or trying to do some skiing or just any snow at all?

There are little pockets all over the place if you look around enough - spotted a few small patches off the backside of Boreas this weekend, for example...

I'm pretty sure there's always a line on Bancroft to ski. There was this time last year.
