I'm looking at spending a few days in the Catskills the third weekend in April. Traditionally, what are the conditions like that time of year? Is there still snow? If not, is it super muddy?
 
I was just up at 3700' yesterday, it appears as though there is about 2-3 feet of snow still left. The temperature was 20F at the summit at noon, so very little melting took place...
 
I hope it gets warm soon, I'd like to do Porter and Cascade from the Garden on June 2nd. Regarding the Catskills, it does vary by year. When I was getting ready for a Pres-Traverse and did half of the Devil's Path in late April, 2006 and there was just a trivial amount of snow and ice.
