The tobacco roots got a huge storm in April. 3 + feet of snow. I haven't been out anywhere yet. I'm sure hyalite is open.
2 weeks ago it was still deep
I can confirm Hyalite is open and the thaw has happened… cut throat are spawning (from a friend)

Sam, what was that lake that just a few of us drove up to in the tobacco roots sevral years ago? I know that one wont be doable till mid to late summer. But I would love to get back up there for a over night.
That was north meadow, which is closed for bridge repairs. Hopefully reopens this summer.
South meadow is one drainage over. It's a much mellower trail.
Get Gaia, add the NOAA snow depth layer. In my experience it is surprisingly accurate. Typically this time of year anything over 7k elevation will still have snow pack. End of june usually 8-9k feet and up is clear with the occasional north facing snow drift.
Cool tip!
I was just up above potosi on saturday and that snow map is surprisingly accurate, maybe slightly low but overall good.
How far up did you get? How deep was the snow?
I went to the Bell Lake split and the snow line was still about 1k above me I think. Exactly as that little "Y" split on the map shows.
