I have been trying to get the same information as I plan to head up on the 27th. I have asked this same question on another forum, so if I get an answer there I will let you know. I called the White Mtn. RD station and was told that the last report they received was that trail is snow free up to First Lake. I was unable to get any further information for conditions past that point in regards to snow depth, if it was patchy, or still a winter wonderland. Hopefully someone will be able to chime in on one of the forums with more detailed information. Good Luck!
