        I am headed over this weekend for a 4 day trip out of the Winthrop/Okanogan area and was wondering about the snow levels. I know I will run into snow but my question is the lakes above 6000 ft frozen still?

        Thanks,

        Adam

          I did some hiking near Winthrop 6-28. Looking down at Copper Glance lake..6100 ft it was 50% frozen.

            I don’t know if this will help you, but the little pond at Washington pass was ice free yesterday.

              I was up at Louis Lake yesterday (up Twisp River) and it’s 100% ice free, with snow around the lake in the trees, no snow in the rocks around the lake, and lots of snow still in slide areas, etc.

              It’s a big lake with lots of exposure, however.

              where you goin?
