Whipsaw snow freeish?
Looking to hit up whipsaw this summer. Can't do July or aug due to other plans. Is it possible late June? I am no stranger to snow. 35s with lockers and winch. At least three rigs. Whats a typical date where it's mostly snow free or at least people are regularly making tracks though it?

As Grant stated earliest would be July long but you will run into snow as it has been a lot of snow in the high elevation and very cool spring. At 1600m there is still close to 10 ft of snow and couldn't guess at 2000 m 20 ft? It was still snowing above 1600m today.

I would guess with the amount of snow fall this winter in the mountains the earliest there will be regular tracks through the trail will be when we go July 9-10. Maybe the weekend prior. Last year we went mid June and only made it in about 1/10 of the trail in over a long 8 hr day of snow wheeling, winching etc ( we had a guy on 37s at 5psi breaking trail) Alot more snow this year in higher elevations. If u have never done the trail I wouldn't suggest doing it during snow. There are some deep ( over hood of stock rig) holes and falling through the ice on one of those would be game over. The trail isn't "snow free" until late July.
