Beth,

I climbed Blitzen almost three weeks ago and the trail was dry to chimpmunk lake. After that we had some postholing around the lake and then it was totally try except for a few snow patches on route on very easy sections. The descent was snow after descending back into the bowl above chimpmunk. After this period of warm I would expect much less snow and probable good travel conditions on what snow you find.

Cheers, Dale
