zion conditions?

[steve]

we are planning on dping the zion traverse in 2 weeks. Anyone know what the current trail conditions are in the higher elevations? Will we still encounter snow?

I have no clue, but I love to speculate. If there were ever a year you'd be fine. This is it.

@markj did it about the same time last year. His report: http://backcountrypost.com/threads/zion-traverse-april-23-26.3142/#post-36923

bump, has anyone been to Zion in the past couple weeks?

I was in Zion on Friday and it looked pretty solid.
Haven't been up to Kolob recently due to the road closures, but East Zion and the surrounding peaks were snow free.
Could still be muddy up on the higher elevations
