On a flight from Banff to Lake Louise today it appeared that most of the front range climbs were still in that awkward in between stage regarding snow cover. The trail into Mt. Louis looks very snowy, and it seems it will be a while yet before it will be reasonable to go there. Anything above the Goat Plateau on Castle Mountain is still pretty wintery, but Ultra Brewers looked dry and snow free except for the plateau itself. The Back of the Lake seems to be mostly snow free even at the base of the cliff, the only thing you will need is some sun. The main Lake Louise group is still in the dead of winter in terms of snow coverage. It is quite unlikely that snow conditions have frozen in the past few days.
