WildTurkey: good luck on your trip. Conditions could change a lot over the next few weeks, so I'd suggest checking out this message board, and the WPS message board frequently.

According to my friend who works for NOAA, this has been one of the driest winters in many years. We had pretty good snow conditions between 9500 feet and 13000 feet, but below and above those elevations, there were several rocky sections.
