Any snow left?
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.
Re: Any snow left?
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.
