Summary: not much yet, which is also true in the southern (NM) Sangres.

Any other reports?

Colorado:

I surveyed the Front Range west of Denver on Sunday.
Less than 5% change! In fact many stands have no change at
all. Alpine tundra up to 12,000 feet: some change but
still a lot of green (very unusual).

The aspen leaves are losing their color so it should be
soon, but things may be late this year unless something
starts happening fast.

We had snow Saturday down to about 8,000 feet, but it has
mostly melted, so no white mountain tops at the moment
west of Denver. The San Juans have up to 10 inches from
recent storms so there should be white caps there.
