[font "Times New Roman"]I was up there on Saturday. At Trial the only snow I seen was a small patch in the trees and it was about 1/2" deep if that. 99% of the ground was dry. As we made our way to Mirror Lake allot more snow. Probably 2 to 5 inches in the trees and allot more of it, I would say 40% was dry ground. Snow everywhere I did find a small pond froze over up by Mirror lake too. If you’re going to do a day trip I would say go for it. Overnight trip I would be prepared for snow. You can never predict the high Uintahs. Hope this helps and good luck.[/font]

Straight from NOAA at 6:45am............
"SNOW LEVELS LOOK TO LOWER TO ABOUT 9500FT TODAY. THIS COULD HAVE SOME IMPACT ON THE MIRROR LAKE HIGHWAY IN THE UINTA MOUNTAINS...WHERE SNOWFALL COULD AMOUNT TO 2-4" ON A SNOWBOARD. ROADS ARE WARMER AND WITH MUCH OF THE EVENT DURING THE DAYTIME...SOLAR INSOLATION SHOULD ALSO HELP TO COUNTERACT IMPACTS EXCEPT PERHAPS DURING PEAK INTENSITY." [signature]

Friday, my son and I hiked about 4 miles in from the Crystal Lake trailhead. There was some light snow in the shady parts of the parking lot. The trail was "mostly" dry up to the top with snow only on the northern facing slopes. It didn't impede anything. Fish seemed indifferent but ultimately gave in after much harassing. I'd go for it.
