I was up there the weekend of June 15th and had to turn around when I got to the beginning of the switchbacks (skyhigh trail) due to the snow conditions being so sloppy. I am sure there has been steady melting but who knows how much is still on that north and east side. I am going to try dollar lake side in another week.
Here is a sat. photo from 6/26/19 you can see dry lake full, and see most of the snow is on the Nface. When we talked to a ranger this last weekend while hiking down from dry lake, he said that after the plane crash site, the switch backs are still covered and its basically a straight up from there and there is some steep parts.

That’s a super hot tip! I hope that note at the top of the page that reads “This may become a subscription-only layer” doesn’t come to pass. Caltopo is an awesome resource.
