We did an afternoon ascent of Mt. Shavano on Wednesday (11/9) and it was largely summer conditions, aside from some snow on the summit along with patches of snow towards the top part of the ascent. The route to Tabeguache looked snow free but we decided not to attempt it since it was so late in the day. Microspikes weren't needed and my trail runners were just fine in terms of traction. Antero looked snow free for the most part from what I could see and there was barely any snow on the surrounding peaks.
