Anybody have recent beta on the conditions up at Lone Peak? Coming from out of town and wondering if the recent storms have left too much snow up there to climb. Thanks!

You can see from town that there isn't any snow from the storms

Man I'm jealous I have tried getting up there this fall but I'm not sure I will before there's too much snow

Thanks y'all! In case anyone else is going up soon, we went up on Tue and had great conditions, still some running water and small ponds up there and like Joey said, no new snow. Question Mark Wall was chilly in the shade but not temps were not bad at all!
