A buddy gave me a tip about a website that contains fantastic snowpack information. You can download current noaa snowpack figures in a .kml file and then open it up in Google Earth. It's pretty easy to find .kml files for trails and then you can determine what you're in for in terms of snow. It looks like I'm in for some snow on the JMT next week, despite the dry winter.
Thanks, put the link in my toolbox. May need to put off going over the Colorado state line one more week as my interest areas still have a couple feet of snow (though I will confirm with the rangers tomorrow):

Add: You can make out the various western CO towns (Durango and Grand Junction, CO) and the highway junctions to the right (East) which make up Denver. This was about as much as I could zoom on an iMac and still keep reference points in my screenshot.
