It depends on how the rest of the spring goes, but there likely will be some snow on the summit trail. Weather this is just some left over snow in the shadow or a substantial covering that impedes hiking can't be determined yet. Also, realize that snow can still fall and accumulate up there in May. I'm pretty sure the toll road doesn't open until later.

A bigger issue, though, will be the mud. The higher the elevation, the longer mud season lasts. I usually don't try to hike in the higher altitudes of the White Mountains until July.

Sorry this is the only time you can visit, but it really isn't a good time for what you want to do.
