Southwest Absaroka conditions??...

2 ?'S: anyone know how much snow is sticking around up in the Absaroka high country in Wyoming, specifically in the Glacier Basin area in the Washakie/Teton Wilderness?? In approx. 2 weeks would like to try what looks to be a great traverse along the crest between Ishawooa Cone & Overlook Peak and then out to the Trident Plateau. Was thinking to carry an ice axe, a 30 M skinny rope, and just a smattering of gear to go with it...no snow, or low snow would mean unburdening myself and my partner of these items so i was curious if anyone had an idea of the current snow conditions and with that in mind also what the river crossings might be like.
On a somewhat related note, does anyone know of someone (perhaps yourself!) who has ever traversed the entire length of Wapati Ridge in the same area?? Thanks for any beta on this...
