was there 2 days ago. old army pass is corniced out. that last bit of "trail" to the top is all steep snow. new army pass is corniced out as well but you can pick your way thru rock further along the slope to find a way up. once on top its clear sailin. approach from horseshoe all the way up to passes is snow free.
We descended army pass June 10th. There is still large drifts blocking the trail at top switchback. Fortunately, it was afternoon and soft we were able to kick steps. Got to admit, not worth the hassle. Should of just cruised back via new army.
