Started from Grizzly Gulch and hiked the road to American Basin to do a loop of both routes. Also tagged Whitecross which was in roughly the same shape. Everything is snow free to 13k and then have some snow (less than an inch) to 13.7kish. There is probably 3-4 above that, but it should melt quickly if nothing else blows in. Spikes recommended for the E Slope near the top. It was pretty slippery coming down. Also plenty of mud as things warmed up. Its still trail runner season if you ask me!
