There was no snow to deal with, though I guess there was snow nearby because I saw someone carrying a huge chunk of it because they had beer that needed cooling. The Walker River crossing was just above knee-deep and very cold, but no big deal otherwise. There were fish flies at Fremont Lake but no real mosquitoes - yet. There were lots of mosquitoes at the Walker River crossing (the only real mosquito issue...I think that crossing is the mosquito's true homeland). On the way in there was only one tree across the trail that needed to be stepped around, on the way out it was gone.
It was very crowded there - I'm guessing the combination of early melt, relatively lower terrain, and out-of-quota-period attracted a lot of people. Still, I found a spot above the lake with barely enough flat ground for one tent, and it worked fine.
