Conditions on Mountaineering Route, Mt.Whitney

I am planning ski mountaineering trip to Mt. Whitney. Does anyone have been up there lately? What are snow conditions like? How high is the snow line?

I took this pic in late Feb ...

I went up the route in January, the snow was insane. We were post-holling the entire way, even with shoes.

The ledges were knee deep in snow and difficult to traverse, but easy to find.

I ended up having to rescue an ill-equipped guy from Lower Boyscout Lake and take him back to the trailhead, so we didn't get past that, but no groups did.

I know a few groups that have tried a few times since, and have not succeeded.

A group and I are doing the regular trail in April with crampons and ice axes.

Good luck!
